I respect this. Although I know you include Royce Lewis in this group of full time designated hitters, I do not.
I think the team has an obligation to play Lewis at his drafted position and give him some run. If he plays well (enough) at third or short, and proves you wrong, all the better. If he plays subpar for too long, like Julien, then at least the rest of us fans can arrive at a consensus.
A first overall pick with the “it” factor that Royce Lewis has, deserves as much.
