Can’t trade Chapman and his $100 million+ contract without his permission and that ain’t happening.  

Trading Schmitt appears the most likely possibility*.  Heck, even if he is fully healthy, it is not a certainty that he will be at 2B on Opening Day.  Both Cox and Mayer will get a long look once the labor dispute is settled. 

* I read one article that suggested trading him for a SP is a strong possibility.  That certainly made sense to me given that 3B is his best position and that spot belongs to Chapman.  And, of course, the desperate need in SF for starting pitchers.

Casey's Rtot at 3B is +5, at every other position, it is clearly in the negative. He should be at 3B or traded.
