I don't understand why everyone is saying we need to address second base. Am I missing something? I think after starting pitching we need to more closely look at speed on bases. With Bonifacio and Davis gone that leaves Gose as our only really quick base runner.

Goins is basically a bench caliber player. Someone that's good enough to play every 4th or 5th day. He just doesn't hit enough to allow him to stick. With any position, it's always better to have more of a sure thing heading into the season and Goins does not qualify.
It would be like us relying on Derek Smith to be a top 4 d-man after the half season he was decent.
