Great question. Here's another - why is Tim Beckham on the roster? He can't hit and doesn't bring a lot of defensive value. understand the thinking, he hit in AAA so maybe he would hit in the bigs. Turned out to be wrong. Replace him with Palacios, play Palacios 1-2 days a week at SS with Correa DHing 1 and sitting 1. 

Bringing back Astudillo would have been a far, far, far, far better choice;  opposing pitchers would face, regardless of whether it was a hit or not, some one who WOULD put the bat on the ball, rather than strike out repeatedly.
