I'd check out this dude Chris Davis from Texas. Is he a bad defender at third? Probably. Another lefty? Yes. High K/low OBP guy in his big league looks? Yes. Minors stats in mostly great hitting environments? Mmm hmm. But still...he mashes taters and his value is probably pretty low right now
Then they could go with a platoon type situation with him at 3B vs RHP and Barfield or Young at 2B vs LHP
Everyone's favorite J. C. Romero got two strikeouts to go along with his walk. Also the guy who walked foolishly tried to steal and was gunned down by Tuffy "You gotta be kiddin' me" Grosewich.
