Any thoughts on this guy?

First thing that screams out at me is probably a really good pinch hitter, but with 99 health, I'm wondering if I can let him get to say 70 or even 60 fatigue and still get a decent season out of him after all he is unlikely to break and if he does I have 20 health waiting to bring him back.

Any experience with these type of players?

1. Hope for a DITR;
2. If he gets ditr, play him off the bench until fully developed (so he gets in every game);
3. Play him in mlb playoffs only until he runs out of options. This way he is fresh for the playoffs;
4. Once out of options, put him as a pinch hitter and defensive sub/player rest all year. Remember, a fatigued player under performs his ratings.

The last part was the most important. He'll avoid injuries but he won't play to his ratings when he is gassed.

I would use him as a platoon C/DH against lefties and pinch hitter. His production is going to plummet if you overuse him. He'll never be a threat to break Ripken's record.

Not quite 25, but at 36 somewhat close. I play him vs. LHP and pinch hit. I get about 300 AB out of him every year (just noticing the crazy consistency in the past 4 seasons lol). Rarely ever dips below 99%

99 health does not mean he will avoid injuries. I learned this from MikeT and WIS support a few years ago. The health rating does help to avoid the nagging 1-7 day injuries, but has no bearing on the big long term DL injuries. So, yeah, I would platoon him at C and have him available for pinch hitting. If you want to be aggressive, let his fatigue get down to about 85 or 90, but I wouldn't go lower than that.
