I think we should try Martinez at first and Cabrera as DH on a long-term basis. Not only is VMart a better defensive first baseman than Cabrera, but this solves the problem of needing to swap VMart to catcher if Avila gets injured and losing the DH as a result (we can put someone else in at first to replace vmart, like kelly). The only concern i would have is cabrera's hitting as a DH. its a small sample size, but in 25 games as a DH he only has a .670 OPS. i wouldnt try it now, but its something to think about in the offseason and in spring training.
