I really don't think he offers much more than Andres Blanco with the bat and Blanco is light years better in the field. Significantly cheaper too.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's the thing though. I'd be fine with a light-hitting slick-fielding SS as long as we had an above average bat at 2B, which we don't have right now and probably won't go out and get one. Either way, we need to improve our defensive and offensive consistency up the middle. That should be Hendry's #1 goal, but he's probably just going to spend the offseason chasing some elusive run producer for the middle of the order. Whoever that ends up being, he'd better be able to field his position and play either CF or SS.
