I have seen savvy, wining managers use him. And I do not think he even has to be in a bomber park. It is good to have at least one power hitter in a pitcher's park, and he has a good ratio of natural HRs. Because of the injury risk , you will want a quality backup DH. But also because of the injury risk, he is cheaper. My point being, while he is not my type of player, there are many ways to build a Championship team. And there is no reason why he can not be part of your blue print.
