I'd rather see him pitch. I mean, I'm not saying the guy should never step to the plate; I just think it's silly to try and get him hundreds of AB's a season. You only have to get him 100-200 ABs once. If he can't hang, he's smart enough to know. Or maybe he's such a freak that he'll just make himself better. Or maybe you get a 14 WAR player. It literally doesn't matter. Promise him whatever it takes to get him here. If he can't do it well enough, keep him out of the lineup. What's he gonna do, retire? Exactly. Like I said, a bunch of AB's in the 100+ range makes sense; lie, lie, lie.
