If your best guess was that Jose Lopez would give you something like .270/.300/.450 and Bill Hall would give you something like .250/.315/.450, plus greater defensive flexibility, plus occasional monster power, wouldn't you have to think about moving Lopez for another piece of the puzzle?
Or do you go into 10 with a Lopez-Hall-Tui triangulation among 2b-3b?  Three RH guys who are likely to be streaky isn't the best time-share arrangement.  I'd rather have a LH with strong OBP, like a better version of Hannahan, in a mix like that.
Or do you put your chips on Lopez doing the age-26 magic?
