One of the sillier things a team can do is keep a guy around at first because they like his defence. If they want to spend the money to get a true slugger than by all means do it.
Two positions where teams should be getting offensive production though are 1B and DH. Lind as LF would probably be adequate, but those are two spots where I think you need 850 OPS, and no worse than 800. I'd suggest platooning him with EE at DH, but I think Lind actually has been better against left handers this year than he has against Righties.
