He was a decent defensive 3Bman, so I expected and still expect him to be better at 1B.
The biggest surprise is his lack of walks.
He has lacked in production and has not met expectations, but the weird thing is, he is 5th on the team in RBIs despite batting 9th and behind some of the most putrid OBP batters in recent Red Sox history.
5th in RBI
8th in PAs
He's also 5th in XBHs (24).
As for the horrific OBP (.259). His replacements:
.231 Duran (move Kike to 1B)
.230 Santana
.228 Cordero
.221 Chavis
