Jonny Gomes
I believe part of the answer in right field should be Jonny Gomes. Before you jump all over me, consider the following: Gomes has a career .292/.396/.537/.932 against right handed pitching. I think he could be a very effective player if platooned with a free agent like Shawn Green or Cliff Floyd, who both hit righties very well. I realize that such a platoon would be horrendous defensively, but in this situation I think the pros outweigh the cons. Also consier the facts that Gomes is very affordable, and according to Baseball Reference, his most comparable player by age is Carlos Pena, who was without a doubt the Rays' most valuable player for the 2007 season.
