Admittedly, I'm a fan of offering our Type A free agents arbitration. If they don't accept, you get the draft picks; if they do accept...well, you're getting a Type A free agent, so someone who's presumably pretty good. Yes, you have to pay him, but...

Put the idea out of mind. It won't happen. Maybe Brewers fans got used to moving guys around the diamond because the club shuttled Ryan Braun and Bill Hall into different positions. But that's not happening this time. Rickie Weeks is a second baseman.
