Spring Training Surprises

I am not sure how many of you have notice but it appears that Nick Green looks like a solid utility infielder the likes of Alex Cora. Now we all know we have a heated battled between Jed Lowries and Julio Lugo, with the assumption that Lugo gets the nod at Short and Jed takes on Cora's versatile role....but is there a possibility of having someone take on Lugo in a trade near the end of spring training? His contract certainly si a concern but with Lowrie as solid defensive and offesnive threat, although lacking the speed of Lugo, Green would spell the Cora role at least to start the season. Other option would be to shuttle Green to AAA and hope Lugo shines and is trade bait for a needed bat near the trade deadline in July as a package...perhaps Bucholz and Lugo for catching.
