Tui has been K'ing a lot recently... I like him a ton, but he might need another year at AAA.
I think the biggest problem with trading Lopez is that now you're stuck with finding TWO players this offseason for 3B+2B. You'd need to really wheel and deal to make things fit (although I'd to see what Z could get for Lopez).
I like Hannahan+Hall, and they could probably platoon at one of those spots and be pretty productive. Still, you have to also really like the kind of flexibility they give you on the bench as well.
We'll see what Z has up his sleaves. I wouldn't mind a back-up plan of Hannahan+Hall at 2B and Lopez at 3B either, as long as mashers are added at Lf (Seth Smith..please trade for him), 1B (probably Branyan again), and DH (Thome or Delgado maybe).
