Maybe so, but where would he play ? 3rd, SS, DH, OF ??
He's at 16 HR, his OBP is barely over .300, BA is .260,
and he leads the team in Ks....As of now his offense is
not that good. His defense is awful.
I'd like to see him traded. He may get real good offensively,
if so, he may be a legit 1B/3B somewhere. I doubt in Cleveland.

Sure, make him happy. Why not ?
He's 2nd in BA, doubles, and RBI, 3rd in HR, as of now.
He plays 3 positions.
But, you are right, he is overpriced as a substitute.
And everyone tanking is probably not gonna happen.
Now there is no pressure, Wedge and his staff will be totally
ignored, and the team will probably play > .500 ball the rest of
the way.
