She was. I think (IIRC) Pete tried (or at least talked about) Michelle
playing outfield to try to get Emily on the field. Same way he toyed with Kylie in the outfield this year.
I think it just comes down to that if you only have the athleticism for catcher or 1B, you have to be the best at those spots or the best remaining hitter after the starting 8 to be the DP. Kylie is the extra catcher, Emily was the extra 1B, and only one could be the DP.
