Any position that brings more AB/play time? (Could OF give him more time during minors?)

I think players develop the same regardless of if they are actually chosen to play in the minors. I think he has too much fielding for a 1B but DH doesn't need fielding either. If you don't have a righty 1B in your minors, you may find a need for one in the future. It never hurts to have a platoon option available.
