A couple of similar major league players who had decent careers and no one has mentioned yet were Steve Balboni and Rob Deer. I also have two similar players in my solo league who made the Hall because they hit their 500 homers.

This thread has made me think about what circumstances I would use a .190 hitter who jacks the ball out every dozen times up. He'd need to draw some walks, play good defense at a key position, have good speed - something to make up for the hits he doesn't get. But I wouldn't dismiss him out of hand.
