Do you think Green has the bat to be a utility guy who plays everyday, a la Ben Zobrist or 2006 Chone Figgins or something? Or is he more of a traditional "bench piece" utility player?

Every team should have a Bloomquist/Bruntlett type who can play 5-6 positions. Hopefully they hit a little better than that, but such players can easily free up a spot for a Giambi-like bench bat or a specialty reliever.

I think that it's pretty clear the Cubs would like Vitters to play 3rd from Sept onwards. If he follows his normal trajectory, he'll hit .225 next year and then be decent going forward. Not that we are allowed to think like that.

If you like DeShields at 51 SBs, how about Rico Noel now at 53 with Ft Wayne!

The strikeout totals for Noel aren't pretty.

A little, but he's still quite age appropriate.

Hi KG. What happened to Jedd Gyorko? Thought his non-callup was a headscratcher for you a while back. Not sure he's showing much right now.

Kevin, do scouts still like DeShields after his somewhat lukewarm career beginning (last year)? How do you see his floor/ceiling?
