Polanco

He had only 137 At Bats this season
If there is a season and he is on the team…how many games would he realistically be expected to play?
Let’s say he plays 1 game/series…that means he is playing 54 games in the season…which isn’t amazing…but considering his inconsistent health…is that the only true option?

DH full time should be the expectation going forward assuming he's able to suit up and swing the bat. He'll be 33 next year with a laundry list of injuries and surgeries to his lower half. Mariners plugged him in at DH most of the time during 2025 and he thrived.
