Perhaps they see him as a .360, .370 OBP player at his top, a very slow Mark McLemore, and hitting lefty he'd be a nice utility player... he's the guy they tried at short, right?
I guess if they're "evaluating" him as a substitute going forward, trying to get that .370 OBP unlocked, that is as rational as anything I can think of.

As usual, the point is not that Capt Jack and Wok should be ripped, but simply that the degrees-of-difference between one admin and another are more subtle than most fans realize... we put a black or a white hat on folks and then we wind up with skewed perceptions of what's happening on the field...
