But, on the first pitch to Nix, Olivo threw him out attempting to steal.

He can’t really play the outfield anymore, and NL teams don’t carry pinch hitters anymore, so I’m thinking AL teams only would even be tempted.

But his bat is so slow now, and he’s so clearly into the serious decline phase of his career, that I think it takes a Swartzian rash of injuries somewhere to open up a spot for him.
