Willingham came over to Kansas City from Minnesota in an August trade, and proceeded to slash .233/.349/.384 with two home runs over 73 at-bats with his new team. He served as the primary designated hitter when Eric Hosmer was on the shelf with a hand injury, and even stole a bit of playing time from the slumping Billy Butler towards the end of the season. Injures have always been problematic for the soon-to-be 36-year-old, and he once again missed significant time due to hand/wrist issues while with the Twins. However, when healthy, Willingham poses a significant power threat, and also displays patience at the plate, sporting a 14.6 percent walk rate in 2014. Willingham announced his retirement at the end of 2014, but that could all change if he receives a tempting short-term contract next spring.
