Yikes. I guess we could go from one of the better defensive shortstops in the league to having the worst. Thurston coincidentally is worse than Sanchez. Chances are he is depth an will never make it out of the minors next season. The Bixler signing was at least intriguing because he's had limited big league time and a good minor league track record. I would rather see Bixler manning short than Sanchez, but I would rather the Astros pick someone else up. Sanchez as the starting shortstop next year. Yikes.
