I'll put it this way - if all we got in return for him in a trade was a good utility guy, I'd be pretty disappointed.
he has more value than you think as a CF, because then we could carry an extra OF on the bench and let Peraza be the backup SS, keeping us from having to carry some light-stick backup SS like we usually do.

Albies is 3-4 years away. maybe longer. Peraza is ready now. and we can platoon him at CF and 2B. give JP some starts at 3B too.

i'm fine with trading him if it fills a need, but i doubt we get a legit 3B or power hitter for him, so i'd rather keep him.
