Since both Travis and Reyes are both fragile, why not keep Goins in the middle infield, and have one of them DH and the other one get routine rest. You can also go bat heavy on days, and have Encarnacion DH,
This just creates more flexibility.
Goins defense is huge. He is a rally killer and a wonderful defender. If its him at 2B instead of Valencia the other night, maybe that double play is turned.
