You play him because he's the reason why you suck now. His contract ruined the franchise for years.

What else is there to do? Play him so that his suckage gets you more top picks.

With 6 years left on the contract he was bad. Not terrible, but bad.

With 5 years left on the contract, he pretty much had the worst season in the history of MLB.

This year with 4 years left on the contract, he's even worse than that.

So, you keep playing him until you reach the point where you don't suck any more. That's likely 2-3 years down the road.
