1 is "I certainly hope so"
2 I think would be best to have the option to do so without carrying a 2nd 1 bagger. Cruz getting play at 1b opens the DH spot for the hot bat or any guy who could use a breather. If he's not the starting RF all over again. O'Malley is getting time at 1B now, providing that option from utility, even if it's not the slugger envisioned. I personally think planning for 5 outfielders is smarter than planning for 2 1B men (when you already have Cruz).
