Posted this in another thread but I'd like some input:

Here's a thought exercise for you guys. Presenting an anonymous batter for your consideration - avoiding the OVR rating and the player's name to get a more objective perspective on the card (I'll reveal it later if people want).

What do you think of this guy?

Code:

Dude McDude  Bats: R       
     max rating at LF:96   CF:69   RF: 87
        con  gap   pow   eye   av K
     vL 65    73    97    81    30	
     vR 56    70    78    67    29

Slash line for the year the card is based on was on the order of .270/.380/.530 ... OPS+ of 151 for that year... so pretty good.

Now I don't own this card and I'm debating whether or not I should buy it for a platoon vs LHP and/or defensive sub. The questions are this:

1. Do you think the guy will ever hit close to his slash line (cuz I don't), and,
2. What do you think this card would go for and/or be worth (I think it's "worth" around 7.5k but I suspect it'll be offered for closer to 9k or higher since it's in a collection).

I feel like this is one of those cards that will never perform as well as you hope, what with the low contact ratings, especially vs RHP.

Note that this is a guy I'm considering for my non-OL Senators team, and there are only so many players who qualify for this team - so I have a pretty limited universe of players from which to choose. This guy is one of two potential 4th outfielders I could use (the other one hits righties better and plays comparable defense but is maybe twice as expensive as this guy).

Would you pay 9k for this guy as a 4th of/LHP platoon/defensive sub?
