Competent organizations wouldn't start a guy who can't even swing the bat in the middle of a division race.
Competent managers wouldn't let a guy pitch and give up four runs after he hurt himself warming up before the first inning in the middle of a division race.
I don't give a shit what Eloy wants. I'm not trading AV just to make room for him. AV belongs at 1B/DH. Eloy can't stay healthy even if he plays DH because he gets hurt running the bases and swinging the bat.
I agree but I wouldn't trade AV to make room for Eloy who's likely to spend a lot of time on the IL even if he's the DH. Plus, he doesn't even want to DH - who knows if he'll sulk if forced to DH.
DH will not keep Eloy healthy. He gets hurt running the bases. He gets hurt swinging the bat. If they can't trade him might as well just keep him in LF and have a good backup LFer for when he's on the IL.
