I get what you're saying. And of course he's a hit first player.
If you project him as a DH, then put him there and quit ****ing around. If you project him as a RF, then put him there, every day, and see if his defense improves.
Brett Phillips is a plus defender. If you project Soler as the future DH, then put him there, bring up Phillips, and play HIM every day in right and see if his bat improves.
I guess I'm just saying- I don't understand the method sometimes. Moose had to sink or swim; so did Escobar, and Gordon, and most of that team early on. It paid dividends down the road. I don't like all the moving guys around and platooning. Sink or swim, prove you belong or don't.
Find out what pieces you have, put them in place, get them seasoned for the next wave.
