Defensively, sure...because an 800ish OPS at 1B/DH is still just about average. 850-875 as a platoon bat would work, if he could at least somehow hit .270-.280ish. That said, not spending another $10-12 million for such production from a veteran would be pretty huge. Edited August 16, 20196 yr by caulfield12
