Just a small quibble with your comment in the prior post, Doc. You stated you thought Z was interested in trading Lopez because his template (lesser D; lesser OBP; bigger SLG) did not fit with Z's "style" preference.
My understanding of the buzz is that it is Wak who wants a change at 2b, because Lopez does not fit into Wak's off-field template: work habits, commitment, etc.
I don't know who's right, but that's just what I've picked up. Obviously, it is clear that all things being equal Z will take the player with good glove and OBP skills (especially in filling out the roster with the scrubs), but I don't think he would flush a player simply because he doesn't fit into that box.
