He's a one tool player on a good day, and right now he's an extreme liability. A DH that can't hit, and not only that he can't hit, he's causing extra outs due to his inability to get the ball into the grass.

Certainly, this is a make-or-break year for Billy. There was plenty of smoke this winter about us shopping him, and even in years prior to that. We carry a very low $1M buyout on him next year and DM already showed he's willing to eat salary to let someone go when he released Boni. He doesn't really fit the DM mold of high athleticism & rah-rah type gamers.

His option escalates to
12.5m for next season. Barring him going on a tear and getting to 25hr or something like that, there's no way he's comig back. Some guys just age poorly and he might be one.
