yabut  Sanchez never played infield, which is why I went for Bloomquist.  At his peak, Bloomquist could be ineffective at both the infield and the outfield (and make the USA roster in the WBC).  I can see the offense comparison to Sanchez, but I'm not sure Kobernus would turn in  as many .300+ BA years.   Bloomquist also was a pretty consistent steal guy, too, depending only on playing time.  Not Sanchez, but a consistent steal every 15 - 20 PAs. Kobernus's rate is better in the minors, but I'm not sure that translates to the majors.
