Two positions where teams should be getting offensive production though are 1B and DH. Lind as LF would probably be adequate, but those are two spots where I think you need 850 OPS, and no worse than 800. I'd suggest platooning him with EE at DH, but I think Lind actually has been better against left handers this year than he has against Righties.

I don't disagree and the only reason I mentioned keeping Lind is because IMO he is a better hitter than he is right now i'm not suggesting keeping him only because of defence. You can't have someone swinging the bat the way he is right now but I still think Lind is a solid bat. Ultimately though Lind would likely be required if they wanted to make a move anyway.
