I've always been a fan of Jose Valentin since he came over from Milwaukee. I'll defend what he has done for this team in those 3+ years any time. I love the intangibles he brings on the field and to the team, and to be perfectly honest I don't care if you agree with me on that point or not. I know what I have seen from him.
However, I really think Jose's career as a starting SS has just about run it's course. I think he'd a great bench player.
