and you see if he's totally overmatched or just has a hole, and you see if he makes adjustments to improve (which he did) and you decide if his defense, which is in another world from Burriss', is worth the risk that he can become a .250 hitter who works counts and has some power.
Everything you said about his offense could have been said about Omar Vizquel's or Ozzie Smith's. I'm not putting Crawford's defense on that level but they are just two examples of light hitting guys who learned to be solid hitters.
If you'd rather have Burriss at short I guess you don't care about defense much.
You watch and you see how they get him out and if he adjusts

Ramon Hernandez was the only C I saw as an upgrade over H Sanchez IMO, as a backup..

He hit pretty well in college. And he was ticketed to start at AAA last season but fractured a finger.

Well, he can't hit any worse than Alex Gonzalez

True. I would not want to see them pay Gonzales much though.
