I'm happy with Garko if Shoppach adds a plus bat at a position of need. Be it 3rd, First, corneroutfield, whatever. (I'm not against getting another FOR starter for him if through FA you address one of the other needs too... )
Having said all that, I do like the idea of Victor DHing or playin 1B more and catching at least some less.
This is where Pronk really screws you... assuming he's healthy for once... if the guy were good for 25 or 30 games at 1B you have a LOT more flexibility... but he's not.
Honestly, one of the good reasons to move Shoppach if you can is that we see the vulnerabilty (with VMart) of having a Catcher as a key part of your offense... very injury vulnerable. No matter how it shakes out, we need to strengthen any/all of the 4 corner positions. If Trading Shoppach does that, good... if we can do it and keep him... well... its a good problem to have, I guess.
Of course, Garko came up as a Catcher.
