Valencia seemingly is as versatile as CP but crushes him in the offense department.

Just sort of a weird decision when you add it all up, unless there were clubhouse issues with DV which seems unlikely.
Valencia isn't even close to comparable to guys like CP. In the parlance of some on here when comparing players, when we talk defense and their flexibility in the field, it's like Valencia <<<<<<< CP.

Valencia is not serviceable anywhere but 3B (maybe). CP has played 3B, SS, 2B, and LF this year. He can spell off a huge number of players if/when they need a break down the stretch.
