You're being ridiculous.
The argument for a DH over a RF is insane. Martinez sits in the dugout for 95% of the game; every time he gets to the plate, he's taken 45 minutes off, having done absolutely nothing. This is the reason why the position will never win an MVP award and why it;s ridiculous to compare them to any position player with numbers even close.
Martinez is having a bad-ass season; no doubt about it. But there is zero comparison to a player of Trout, Mookie, Lindor or Ramirez's capabilities.
