G_Money says: "I look forward to the day that we can sign, draft and keep our own middle infielder, though.  And have him actually be good."
I myself am optimistic about Nick Franklin as a switch-hitter who can stick defensively at SS and has the potential for offensive upside.  The pick was generally panned, however.
I'd be curious what G or anyone else thought.
BTW, in addition to the horrible trade of Cabrera and the inclusion of Valbuena in the JJP bonanza, Yung-Chi Chen was a 2B showing quite a bit of potential before injuries did him in.
Except for Triunfel, who's been set back quite a bit with the injury, there is literally nothing in the middle infield all the way down to Franklin, who is an unsigned high school draft pick.   I expect that Z will act in the trade market to get some MIF soon.
