Valaika is a significantly better hitter than Treadway was, in my opinion. Lot more sock.

Ah, agreed. I have often thought the same. Valaika is of good size, solidly built, and could well take the physical aspect of playing 2nd. He could be a deal closer (or Phillips), in a big trade. As much as I like Phillips, I'm tempted to bet on Valaika. So far anyway, he shows better plate attributes. (I like those .300 BAs).
