[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1829900, member: 747321"] Yeah I agree with all of that but still think they should've swung big this offseason and added a shortstop (and a pitcher). The thing is, if Winn lives up to the hype he's not going to be blocked. By the time he's ready someone like Bogaerts, Correa or Turner could easily be moved to 2B, 3B, or OF depending on where there's an opening. If and when Winn (and Walker) reaches full impact level it's going to fall outside the Goldy/Nado contention window. When you look at the teams that are active in the market, they don't get as hung up on positions, because it's becoming way more common for players to move around. Imagine if the Cardinals had not traded for Scott Rolen because they really liked their ROY 3B who debuted the prior year (Pujols)? [/QUOTE]
