Power

  I don't know what would need to happen for him to get a few starts in a row, though.  Doesn't seem like it's going to happen. 



I'm very optimistic Kang is going to take care of the middle infield power soon though, so I guess it doesn't matter to me anymore


I too would like to see Moroff get a few starts in a row.  Really have nothing to lose defensively at 2B and he might surprise us with his hitting not just his power.

As for Kang, not even considering him in the picture.  If he does come back and manage to be hitting I would hope they would trade him even if it is for a big bag of batting practice balls.
