Anyone think he would be decent for DHing if Thomas is out for a while? He has a .354 OBP despite his bad AVG this season. Although I'd rather see Borchard get ABs in the majors than picking up a 35 year old.

Sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes for a natural hitter like Olerud. Try him for a week and if he doesn't work out then bring Borchard back.
