There were a bunch of tough calls, especially with the trade for Wilson Valdez and signing of Willie Harris pushing several guys down the chain. Henry Rodriguez may be a casualty of those moves, but he did hit .302 in AA for 312 plate appearances last season so for me, he gets the nod. Chris Valaika and Kristopher Negron are also guys who may be hurt by those moves, pushing them further down the depth chart.
What do you guys think? Would you make any changes?
