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

Exactly. Quite honestly, we don't platoon enough with the Moose & Valencia combo. Valencia did what he was supposed to do in his platoon role. I mean in the grand scheme of things it's not that big of a deal. We don't really have a good third basemen that can play everyday, but unless this Hendrix guy ends up being a steal in coming years, I don't see the value in this trade.
