I agree he's no star and his other numbers leave something to be desired, but you can't have an All-Star at every position. I would think 33-95 would be better than many LFs.

I'd disregard RBI without even blinking.    While one can argue "clutch hitter" in MLB, there is definitely no such thing in HBD.  33 homers is good but LF requires virtually no fielding capability.    You should be able to squeeze more than just homers from a guy.    But, like I said, you go with what you can get.   I just said I would be looking to upgrade if my LF isn't OPSing .825 or so.   Doesn't mean I WILL upgrade but I'm looking.

RBIs are highly situational - he could put up the same hitting numbers the next season and have 60. I don't mind a low BA from a guy with pop if he draws a bunch of walks, but he's got a .301 lifetime OBP, which makes him an out machine. I wouldn't want to take that from anyone who isn't a very good defender at a prime defensive position

Similar player with one notable difference:
Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Willie Scoroposki

I'm using him but I'm also looking.

torrone....Hamish is usable if you've got highly paid bats at premium defensive positions (since he's cheap), and as long as he's hitting towards the bottom of your order.  If you can get 33 HRs out of your #7/8 hitter, you're doing well, especially at a ML-min salary.

LF is not a prime defensive position.

True, but I do put my better defender in LF instead of RF
