That is up for serious debate.

You may not like Anderson/Owens and Getz/Lillibridge/Nix, but if the reality is we don't have the money to make a move on Furcal or Hudson barring a trade of another highly salaried player, the choices are between:

 

SS Lexi

CF Anderson Owens

2b G/L/N

 

versus

 

CF Lexi

SS Getz

2b Lillibridge/Nix

 

or

 

2b Lexi

CF Anderson Owens

SS Getz

Defensively though, I think people will see that his arm is not as impressive as they thought when he's making the throw from SS. Tad Iguchi/Cintron/Big Mack made Alexie look like he had a canon from 2nd (he does have a good arm, but not absolutely top notch caliber). I think at SS he'll have a better arm than Cabrera, but a worse arm than Uribe.

Some of off balance throws from deep CF make me think his arm is plenty strong.

I realize this is highly dependent on who we get, too, but I don't think I'd mind keeping him at second and trying to acquire a SS or, if Lillibridge impresses, let him start there.

 

 

You must think highly of Lillibridge?!
