No he is not
He should be DL'ed, right now he is hurting the team not helping it. The problem with him playing hurt is 2 fold
1st it will take him 6 times longer to get back to 100%
2nd He could hurt himself much worse playing injured and cost him the season or his career
DL him and bring up Chris Valaika, Chris Valaika is hitting over .300 in AAA and had a great spring training hitting .391
15 days of Valaika is a whole lot better than 2-3 months up 60% BP
BP tried to play through leg issues in 2010 and the results were a .207 July. Then he tried to work though an injured hand in September with a .176 average. Maybe if they DL'ed him when he was injured they do not get sweep in the playoffs because he would have been back and at 100%
BP's track record playing hurt is horrible, he does nothing but hurt the team. To be fair MOST players that play through an injury that should DL them do nothing but hurt their team
