There's still hope though that Nomar will play LF, it hasnt been officially stated that he will play any position

Yeah I read that he will play first until Izturis gets back from the dl then he will move to the outfield.

If he can stay healthy it's a good signing.

That's all what the writers hope happens.  They always use these words "expected to" and "believed to..".  It also isn't a smart decision to make Nomar switch positions in the middle of the season.

When healthy the guy can hit.  He's played under 100 games for two straight seasons.  I expect him to OPS at .800-.850.  Which is what Choi/Saenz can at 1/6th the price
