If Kawasaki can play 2B (no clue if he has any history there) then absolutely. He may be a weaker hitter than Boni or Izturis historically, but his OBP is a full .100 points higher than either of them and has shown surprising creativity and excellent patience.
He has more SB's than either of them, more RBI's..comparable runs scored and all with about 30-40 less at-bats then those two guys.
If he can continue drawing walks in the 9 spot it creates huge opportunities to turn the lineup over with production, especially having Bautista hitting in the #2 hole.
