He can be a depth guy for under 1.5 or find another team. Too inconsistent, little versatility on defense, and with the potential for 4 OFs deserving playing time next year, we don't need a full-time DH.

He's got a 3.5 mil option next year, with a 500K buyout.
I agree with you that I was hoping for him to get bought out, but ever since he stopped being played anywhere but DH, he's been one of the better players in the league (scary I know) and if he keeps it up through the rest of the year he'll have over an .800 OPS for the season. At that rate, you can either keep him or include him in a trade easily.
It's worth seeing as you might be able to get away with having him at DH next year instead of spending through the nose for a guy like Fielder and redirect that cash towards getting an ace or something like that.
