The way Rivera is hitting and running, if no one will take him I'd like to see him get sent down - if someone even claims him great and regardless bring Eric Thames or Cooper up for a while and stick them in the DH slot rotating with the other OFs or Lind.
Are there CBA/Contract clauses that would prevent a guy on Rivera's contract from being sent to AAA in baseball?
If you don't want a young guy DHing part of the time, bring up Shealy once he gets going, at least you get effort out of him. Rivera reminds me a lot of Kotalik this past season, outsider perspective but he just seems totally unmotivated out there.
