You trade him based on the responses to the following criteria:
1. Do you believe the power will develop?
2. Payroll limitations (*cough* bullshit)
As I've said in other threads, if what we see now is what Butterball's fat ass will be, he's a #2 hitter. And I don't want to hear the "But he can't bunt or run!!11" cries. Luckily, it's not '77.
He could also project in the 5 hole. But he's currently not a #3-4. What is this type of DH worth to the organization, financially speaking, too?
In an ideal world, I keep him. DH him, and put him in the 2 hole.
