Our IF defense is already awful and Uggla's possibly the worst everyday defender in the league.
Besides, we already have a good #6 hitter in Rasmus. Uggla's massively overrated offensively. He has a horrid approach (swing hard in case you hit it) and even as a consistent 30 HR guy, he's never driven in 100 runs. He's also a guy that is going to be exposed by premier pitching.
The team needs guys that get on base more than guys to drive them in. with Albert, Holliday, Ludwick, Rasmus and Freese in RBI positions, I'm more concerned with getting a few table setters.
I'd rather start Flip at 2b than Uggla.
