I think right now he is among the best defensively, and he's hit right at or over .300 for most of the first half. That's pretty damn good for a 25 year old on a last place team (or close to last place team).
Esky and Perez are the two guys who I would say are untouchable. I think you could trade Hoz or Moose for starting pitching if you absolutely had to, but I hope they can find a workaround to keep these guys together for awhile. We need to get a starter in FA, possibly trade for another, and try to find at least one guy in our current system that can step in like Odor Eater or Zimmer, although Zimm is probably two to three years away. Tommy John (a former Yankee) really blew up our long term plans this year.
