Chris Valaika has been labeled as a guy who likely has to move off of shortstop in the past, but its been noted by Baseball America that he has improved his range this year in part due to him coming into the season at a lighter weight. Today Joe Sheehan over at Baseball Prospectus weighs in on some prospects out in Arizona and he says he thinks Valaika could stick there as well. That could bode well for the future if he can handle the position defensively as shortstop and catcher seem to be the only positions that there are questions about over the next few years.

I had some computer problems Monday morning and as a result it led to me losing all of my emails (over 700 of them unfortunately) and all of my contacts. If anyone has emailed me in the last year, feel free to shoot me something again so I can get some of my contacts back again.
