Justin Bour has what many may consider an underwhelming profile. He slugs about average for a first baseman and he hits about average too. His defense is equally sub-par and he is slow like many other big corner mashers. It is thus unsurprising that many fans saw the news that the Angels will sign Bour to a $2.5M contract and rolled their eyes.
The corner infielder does have a career slash line of .260/.344/.466. That is pretty good of course, but his 2018 was a step back. A 119 wRC+ is definitely above average for a 1B in this modern era, but still nothing that is going to particularly move the needle when paired with mediocre speed and an iron glove.
