That clock is pretty much up, which is why he is (now) being moved around in the order and I think he might start to see more time on the bench.

If Lind had been injured for any period of time then EE would have been starting at 1B. He's fine at first base - his struggles were always related to throws.
If Vladdy plays his way into regular DH duty then there are no other moves that need to be made.
Lind has a multi year contract if I recall.... not sure what they are going to do with the guy...

Personally if I had my choice Lind will be released... or find the guy a new location.

At for Edwin, I personally don't believe he is the long term 1st Baseman. He is a DH who can play a few games at 1st or 3rd if required.

If Lind experiment ends, AA will need to find a better solution who can drive in runs and hit for some sort of an average....
