Schobel (who has split time at second, third, and shortstop) has a slash line of .292/.372/.465 with seven home runs in 234 plate appearances. His plate discipline has been extremely impressive with a low 14.1% strikeout rate and a high 10.7% walk rate. He's add seven stolen bases to his stat line to boot.

Salas could be a big story this year.   I remember there being some hype around him when he was added in the Arraez deal.   Then, he was quite bad and forgotten.  892 OPS this year and he can play all over the diamond.  One guy that can back-up SS and CF is nice to have.  Would love to see him pan out.  It would make the Arraez trade look really good.  Can you speak to his ability to play SS, Seth?

Surprised Culpeper wasn't, given these moves.

I don't think it'll be too long. Big day again today for him. 

Nate Baez is the one that may be the most deserving in CR is Nate Baez. He's been on a tear all season.

The Arraez trade already looks great!

Will he stick at catcher? Do you think his development as a catcher is a factor in the decision to keep him in CR for now?
