I just picked up a IFA that looks like a guy that will have a great bat but he cant run at all.

Does anyone have a active player like him? What can I expect?

Other info I have 20 medical and 20 Training.

And my 16 scouting said his bat line was 93 89 92 61 78

Not sure where your guy ends up ratings wise, but I would definitely have him in the lineup vs. L handed pitching. Petrick is probably the most similar - he has been just fine. He'll GIDP quite a bit, but his bat is worth having in the lineup - BIG TIME.

My best guess, given that he's a 20 yo IFA--
1) He'll be an amazing DH against LHP, but not special against RHP.
2) His lack of speed will hurt his slugging pct a little bit due to decreased 2B and 3B.

That is encouraging. If I can get a few high OBP guys in front of him. I can really maximize his output.
