Don't send him home yet! Just let him take some swings to get the BP pitchers warmed up! :D
As long as he's here, there's the temptation to play him. I'd like to see him far, far away, like back home.

It's a shame that BOB will not cut him. His salary is dead money whether he plays or not.

Exactly. One would think that a well-educated businessman would understand the principle of sunk costs. The only reason I can think of for continuing to play him is that he gives the team a better chance to lose, helping to increase the possibility of getting that first overall pick in the '22 draft.
