A 34 year old corner infielder who put OPS's of .774, .741, and .784 in 2010, 2008, and 2007? Who's getting $11-$13mil the next three seasons (although Texas will pick up some salary it's still a three year commitment)? No thanks.
I'll deal with EE/Bautista/etc. at third this season and not slow down Lawrie's development for an aging and declining superstar.
