If you think he's going to be the DH, then just put him there. Why even put him in right?

we have other 'maybe' guys that play the position, and do so at a higher level defensively than Soler ever will.

We're focusing on one player from a post that was about an overall tendency that I find frustrating.

Put the guys in the place you think they'll play and let them sink or swim.

Put O'Hearn at first every day, and see if he can learn to hit lefties. Put Dozier at 3rd every day and see if his bat gets more consistent. If you think Soler's going to be your DH, then why are you putting him in RF at all when you have Phillips and Goodwin and need to see if either can become legit major league hitters and BOTH are much, much better defenders playing in a big park. Especially if you're afraid he's made of glass. Why risk it?
