But that role can be filled by cheap OF too, fast guys that can't hit should be bubbling up through your farm system all the time (I always use late draft picks on all-glove C and fast CF for that reason).
Also, I don't normally agree with batting the pitcher 8th, but this is the kind of guy that would make me consider it because when he manages to get on base he's more likely to be able to score when the bats come up. If you play in a training wheels league and the rest of your lineup is good, I'd bat him 9th and assume he's keeping some clod out of the field.

Yeah, the question basically hinges on if the guy can get on base or if he can play CF to sub for a long term injury. Fast no-bat outfielders are a dime a dozen and be easily acquired, but fast gold glove wizards at CF or fast obp machines are much, much harder to come by and thus more valuable (at least to me, the AI really loves getting rid of 40 contact/70+ eye guys with decent defense and these guys can usually contribute to a roster and clear waivers if need be).
