And if not, good Lord, what are they actually waiting for? It's to the point that I'm almost feeling sorry for the guy - absurd paycheck or not - to keep either running him out there or wasting a roster space on him. The odds of a minor league stint fixing things seem slim at this point but those odds have to be better than perpetual failure don't they?

Isn't he at the point where he can refuse assignment to the minors? My baseball knowledge is severely colored by OOTP but I think the team's options are to keep him on the MLB 25-man roster or cut him. Either way, they pay the salary.
