dola, think late-career Rickey Henderson. Hit in the .220s, but had an OBP in the .350s and even still had a little tread left on the tires as a base stealer. I mean, yeah, it sounds goofy to say "give me the Hall of Famer to bat 9th," but that's kind of the offensive profile I'd want to bat the pitcher 8th on a regular basis. .200/.350/.300.
Brandon Crawford is a guy I'd try it with, if his OBP is sustainable. .235/.347 with a little pop? Sure. Swap him with the pitcher (it looks like most of his starts this year have been in the 8 hole).
