I mean, I don't love either.....but I don't think it's as big an issue as I've been thinking they are both in MN.......that said, I'm not sure either is THAT hard to replace in the off season if needed (heck, just sign the one you lose back).
I agree it is a huge issue that they play him at first. Like, I don't get the obsession, as he's just not that good a hitter that he needs to be forced into the lineup.
