I know you probably don't want to have a catcher at DH, but if he hits 25 HR in 300 ABs, imagine what he could do with 500.

Yeah, the problem is having two excellent C, 5 excellent OFers, and a decent IF, aside from a stud SS. Brentz, the RF, was the primary DH, with Marquez basically alternating between C and DH down the stretch. Marquez is going to be the primary C in 2020, with Davis backing him up. Thankfully, Fleming is rated at all 4 IF positions, so I only need 1 backup IF and can fit all 5 OFers and both Cs on the roster.
My goal is to have an all-drafted team. Davis and Marquez at C are both drafted, I let the excellent incumbent 1B (not pictured) go to make room for the draftee Briggs. Ford at 2B is a draftee, but Cruz at SS and Walters at 3B are traded players. The entire OF consists of drafted studs. The pitching rotation is now all-drafted, but the bullpen is heavy with traded players/waiver wire pickups. Since all 5 OFers are drafted, and I really want to try to develop/keep some HOFers for their entire careers, I need to use all 3 OF spots and the DH spot to rotate the 5 of them. That way, I can make the 5th OFer the backup to all 4 other spots with "every 4th game" as the starting setting. Davis at C is going to be the odd man out.
