Valbuena is the top backup for Barney.

But yeah, there probably are some backup players left to be signed, and probably a bench job or two to be up for grabs in spring training.

It would be nice to find a way to upgrade third base, then let Stewart back up 1B and 3B (with someone like Jeff Baker being signed to platoon with him in that role).

If you upgrade at 3B, and relegate Stewart and Valbuena to backup roles, the possibility of creating value at 3B is sharply reduced.  I think Stewart and Valbuena are going to be the options at 3B at least thru the end of May.

71-91.  If there's another fire sale it could be worse, but let's be optimistic.

I am optimistic.  I am optimistic that there is a fire sale where the Theocracy maximizes whatever talent they have on the roster in July to covert it into players and prospects who are likely to provide the maximal value in 2015 and beyond.

Doing that will be vastly preferable than winning 5-10 more games in the last two and a half months of the season.

Hoping they hold onto players like DeJesus or Garza or any starter other than Smardz who might be doing well is not being optimistic.  It is being misguided.

I predict that the Brewers will finish 8 games better than the scrubs.
