Here's what it looked like as we recorded the show at Iron Door Pub:

Here’s the numbers of what I think AG is trying to say. We’ve had a non-offensive player starting in an offensive position 83 times this year (so even if we avoid it again the rest of the year-we are still over half)
Escobar 27 LF, 8 DH
Robinson 22 LF, 1 RF, 5 DH
Santana 2 DH
Hermann 1 DH
Nunez 2 LF, 15 DH
Of course, Escobar has better offensive numbers this year than Kenny Vargas.(who currently has the most games started at DH) And Nunez has similar numbers to guys like Mauer and Hunter this year.
