What should the Reds do?

The Reds have an interesting problem to solve when Alex Gonzalez returns from the 15 day DL. Jeff Keppinger is filling in like a starter. He had a great spring and is hitting around .450 so far this season. Gonzalez is not know for his bat. He was brought in for his defense, but Keppinger is playing well on that side of the ball too. What should they do?

Platoon them. That seems to be the smartest move.

I think they should just bench Gonzalez and let the better player at the position. Use Gonzalez for a late inning defensive replacement until they unload him, but that will never happen. They are paying him too much to ride the bench.
