Um... better do that on a day you have the lineup stacked and are pretty confident you can score a bunch of runs.
I assume Hosmer goes to DH on those days. No problem with that.
Random (Cynical) hypothetical: we'll find out the reason they want to keep Valencia is more to work as a defensive sub for Butler on those days than as an alternative/insurance for Moustakas.
Would be just like Dayton Moore and Yost. Obsess over a minor piece of roster construction and leave a much larger hole somewhere else.
