I think he played 2B in the Hawaii Winter League. Valaika is nowhere near ready (think 2 years minimum) and there is disagreement whether he’s a SS or not.

He's got 15 ribbies this year, and looks to be headed for 100 (of course you have to add, if he stays healthy). He's not the old Griffey, but who you gonna hit 3rd, Dunn or Phillips? BP maybe in the future, but not at the moment. Last I checked, 30 HR and 93 RBI was #3 hitter material.
