Shinjo Returns

I have no real problem with the Mets re-signing Tusyoshi Shinjo, who should help the outfield defense. He can’t hit enough to play every day, but he’s a useful fourth outfielder. I stand by my initial assessment of Shinjo as a Japanese Darryl Boston, an athletic and fundamentally sound outfielder who could play every day if he was a more disciplined hitter and made more consistent contact.
