Valaika's a pretty big downgrade as a defensive SS, which puts the Rockies in a tough spot. Probably the only way they can really get serious about benching Story is to move DJ over to SS and play some combination of Valaika, Amarista and McMahon at 2B. That's a risky proposition, moving a Gold Glove 2B to the other side of the diamond. It's tempting, but I don't see it happening.

On a happier note, at least Lucroy is providing a bit of offense and he seems pretty decent behind the plate. Without him being on base in nearly every at-bat this series, the bottom half of the lineup would really be an abyss.
