Low contact/power, very good vR and eye Topic

What OPS range (neutral park) would you expect from a guy like this: left-handed hitting and 35C/43P/54vL/75vR/75eye?

He'll end up with low contact/power, but very good vR and eye. I have a couple of these guys in my system so I'm trying to figure out how they'll hit.

I'd look to trade him. He's got sub-par range (and glove to a lesser extent) for a CF combined with a sub-par bat. Maybe you could get Gleeman to buy him for a mil, so he can turn around and sell him for two mil.

I wouldn't think of 75 as very good, just solid/good.

I doubt he'll OPS .650ish.

He's got a large platoon split, and I'd expect an OPS of around .700 against RHP (much lower against LHP).

That said, brianplath has it right. The bat doesn't play in LF, the glove doesn't play in CF, and the BR isn't quite good enough to make real use of the speed.

He would make a decent 4th outfielder. Your 3 OF starters will each need 10-20 games of rest so he would get 30-60 starts filling in for them. First few years he would be a good cheap option. When he hits arbitration get rid of him instead of paying him more.

From a hitting perspective- he's maybe sorta similar to Player Profile: Alen Ogea, who is having a magically dreamy season but is otherwise not so much. LHB with 75 vR can hit .300 if you exclusively platoon him, so yeah .300/.360/.390 gets you to .750 and that's ok I guess
