Valbuena never cracked the Top 100, but I don't think he's so different than Cardenas. He came up in Seattle's system, then broke into the big leagues with Cleveland. He's hit pretty much at every level, although he wasn't the .850+ OPS guy that he became once he started repeating AAA. He's 26 all year long, so he's not a bad first infielder off the bench, and if the rumors about Barney being shopped are true, we could do worse as a stopgap 2B. yeah, he sounds like a pretty valuable guy to have coming off the bench or filling in for an extended period of time if someone gets injured.
