The 'Glou have 99OVR Bonds, who is pretty similar to perfect Bonds in contact and eye vs RHP (90 & 99). He DHs vs RHP, rarely starts against LHP.
Here is his average slash-line & OPS+ across the 10 1/2 seasons he's been on the team: .258/.364/.428, 119. So, yes, good at getting on-base but doesn't often slug enough near what he should for 98 power vs RHP, imo.
In fact, I've been considering replacing him with SE 1B Dick Allen, who is a monster against LHP and okay as a backup against RHP. Problem is I'd lose a LHB on the active roster if I do so. I was thinking of replacing live Trout and moving SE Cedeno to start everyday at CF but I'm not sure I'm willing to lose Trout's defense, especially as I recently moved SE Appling to everyday 2B. A big offensive upgrade on SE Stirnweiss but a big defensive downgrade. In the 2 1/2 seasons since doing that my team ERA has risen by .16-19. I have been playing in stronger leagues the last couple weeks but still, that's a bit of a jump, especially as I have also improved my pitching over that time.
It's good to still have things to think about
