I doubt we'd see him starting very often, but he could be a real nice bat off the bench late in games.
I definitely can see him pinch hit late in a game, drawing a walk, then Avery comes in to pinch run.
I'd agree that they ease him back in as a pinch-hitter, but if he looks good after a couple weeks, I could definitely see them starting him at DH (if, God help us) we make the playoffs.
