I feel like he’s priced too high for the 80M leagues I play. That said, I don’t think he has to be a platoon option only on small ball teams. You can always have him as a top of the order hitter vs. righties, platooned with a power hitting (possibly poor glove) selection who bats lower on the order against lefties. Meanwhile, have a corner OF, say, who can be lead off vs. LHP, paired with a power hitter vs RHP who bats lower in that order. You basically have 2 platoon pairs who happen to play different positions.
Tbh, though, I wouldn’t drop that much $$ on him in a low salary league. I can get similar numbers elsewhere, and bring Dave Chalk in for defense.
