I misread the post. So we should pay a guy $30M per year to play LF 14 times a year?
For his production, it seems like you could utilize the salary elsewhere (starting pitching, relievers, keeping B's around), especially if he's going to be mainly a DH.

Devers now has 10 max speed sprints so he qualifies on on statcast's rankings. One of the fastest 3B in MLB, ranking in the top 25% overall.
Well, he might not lob the ball back in, but he has had trouble throwing to the correct base which often leads to an advanced runner.
He has the athleticism to be a plus plus LFer, but right now he's about average. With all the hype of "3 CFers" I was hoping for Yaz in LF.
Johnson has just struggled to stay healthy. No one really knows how Beeks' stuff will play in MLB. Maybe he pitches well, maybe it's batting practice?
I'd give him a shot in September for sure.
Umps just don't set up very good behind the plate. The majority of them really struggle with the outside corner. I think they need to go back to the oversized balloon style chest protectors.
He was hoping he could play through it and opt out. Now, he's going to be stuck getting surgery and will have worry what Eck is saying about him on every broadcast for the next 5 years.
Sabathia is better than Porcello this year. It's not terribly surprising that he can have some pretty good games.
CC has gone 20 innings against the Sox and has only given up 2 runs.
