I look at the 2013 roster and check the OPS+ column and what do I see?
I see a team that is getting adequate production out of EVERY corner position. (conceeding Smoak's 107 OPS+ is in its own particular surreal state of lying statistics).
The 2013 *offense* has problems where?
Catcher - 71 sOPS+
Second -- 74 sOPS+
Short -- 42 sOPS+
CF is a distant 4th at 83 sOPS+
So ... given where the club is ACTUALLY lacking ... which Catcher, 2B, and SS do you go after ... and is anyone going to complain when Zunino, Franklin and/or Miller are discarded?

Of course, from my perspective, the pitching was the larger issue coming into the season - is still the larger issue - and I'm not sure how one leverages Walker as a trade piece that actually improves the team 90 ERA+. Is there a scenario where we can trade Walker and net Kershaw or Stausburg or Wainwright or Sale? If so, I'm all ears.
