They both suck but why was Elmore kept over Flores?

I don't understand why we have infielders playing outfield positions.

Positional flexibility is cool, provided that the player provides enough offense and defense to pull it off. The act of posting lineups in these threads has made me notice the fact that good teams frequently have decent players who are shuffled around the field. Of course, I'm not going to apply the word "decent" to Elmore. In his case, positional flexibility can be a ticket to an occasional Major League roster spot.
