I don't have the link, but I recently read a story where Votto says he won't accept a part time role. If true, that would seal it for me. No deal. Dude hasn't been good in three plus years. Even in a DH role, his hitting is DONE. He doesn't field well, hasn't run the base paths well in what seems like forever. Father Time catches up to us all. So even if he was to lower his pricetag to something reasonable, his play IS NOT WORTH THE PAY. I want CES taking up those 1B duties. Or Steer. Or Stephenson occasionally. Guys with upside. Guys with a future in the game. Not a 40+ year old man way past his expiration date.
If he wants a full time role...1B coach. Or hitting coach. Take it or leave it.
