I'd be curious to see how many teams have 2 outfielders with an OBP of .400+ with 50+ extra base hits. If that number is in double digits, I'd concede that he's a third outfielder on a good team.
I've got a feeling that this is more like the time that Mecca (IIRC) claimed that, in order to contend, you needed to have both of your outfielders be .300/30/100 guys. As a little digging revealed, there wasn't a single player in the league that met that criteria that year.
