Low .700 OPS, nothing to write home about in either power or OBP, athough some intrigue in the latter. Ketel needs an extended tryout at short because he's 21 and we need to project how ready he is to take over there and at least give us what Brad does at short in 2016.  We can't afford to have much less there. We need to discern whether he will fall on his face like Taylor did after a promising 1/3 of a season. 

Having two young MLB shortstops to offer in trade will be nice in the off season. So, another month, another 100 ABs, will be quite useful.

Taylor is a handy fallback. I think we know he can handle short, but his bat may be limited. Ketel is suggesting  right now he could lead off. He's currently third on the team in OBP behind Cruz and Guti (wow if Guti could play daily!).

i think we are having the competition now, Tacoma. Miller got a long, extended chance to nail down the job. His inability to hold his own against left handers opened the door to Chris Taylor, who failed to do anything this season. Now it's Ketel's turn to show what he can do. Meanwhile, keep Brad in the lineup against lefties to see if he can improve his numbers there, as well as whether he can play CF.
