If he'd been used in a strict platoon, his WAR would be better and he'd be much more useful.

Valencia played 3 games while Moose was in AAA. Two of those three were against left handers. He went 1-13. With RISP? Since everybody loves the slash, Moose has a .236/.310/.431 Valencia has a .182/.263/.212
This team needs runs, right? That's what the consensus is around here? Well, there you go. Not saying we improved at all. But to say you'd rather have a guy on the 25 man roster that plays one position once every 4 or 5 days is absurd.
