Rasmus has deceptive speed and was surprise at how well he plays cf.

Honestly, I would be somewhat surprised if Marco Scutaro wasn't a jay again next year. Would be a decent 2B, that would be good for a single season. We wouldn't have to give up anything other than the $ for his contract, and wouldn't lose the pick that we'll get when KJ signs elsewhere or the assets that we'd need to move to get another 2B.
Stats from last year (KJ and Hill are with T.O only)
Scutaro - .299, .358, .423 - .781 OPS
Hill - .225, .269, .348 - .616 OPS
Johnson - .270, .364, .417 - .781 OPS
