Gives you something close to...

1B Soto
2B Cozart/Rodriguez/Negron/Valakia
3B Grandal
SS Hamilton/Gregorious
LF Yorman
CF Stubbs
RF Bruce
C Mesoraco

In 2014... I can live with that.
3B, that is an intriguing possibility. Though one of the main reasons for me thinking he may eventually move off of Catcher is his arm doesn't seem to be all that great which if the case might make 3B a non-possibility as well.

I actually believe Todd Frazier is still the future 3B or if he doesn't pan out maybe Junior Arias down the road.

In 2014 I am hoping to see something like this "if" Votto leaves
Hamilton SS
Sappelt LF
Bruce RF
Stubbs CF
Grandal or Soto 1B
Frazier 3B
Mesoraco C
Cozart 2B

Fleury C
Negron MIF
H. Rodriguez IF
Heisey OF
LaMarre OF

About to make the bigs
Yorman
Duran
Arias
Torreyes
Barnhart

With Grandal headed out with Soto perhaps to get us a bigger better 1st base bat if neither turn out.
