Utley is big leaguer without a doubt. Swings a big league bat for sure. He's an above average fielder. Doesn't have great range, but he scoops up everything he gets too. He's a guy that just needed a chance to play everyday, and with Placido Polanco on the DL, he's gotten that chance. Bowa will need to find a way to keep him in the lineup when Polanco returns. If Bo asked me (which he won't, dammit) I'd move Polanco to SS, keep Chase at 2nd, and sit Jimmy Rollins down.
But, that's JMHO. If I knew what I was talking about, I wouldn't be working for a living!
