You would need to commit to him in rf or lf, bat him 7th 8th or 9th and don't mess with him just leave him be. If you can't find him that kind of playing time then don't even start down that road. His PD is low so he probably won't walk much and his fielding needs to improve. I don't think he will ever be a star but it depends on what you have and what you need. I do think if you want his best though you will need to commit that kind of effort in him.
