On another point: HF, the D'backs significantly depleted their farm system this winter, didn't they? How would they have ranked prior to this winter's deals?

As for Nix vs. Q: I'd guess Q would be better right away. I have very little confidence in Nix. But Q really has virtually no upside, whereas Nix still is a bit of an enigma. Plus he's out of options, so if we go to Tucson with Nix having the inside track on the job, I'm ok with that.

Actually, the out of options thing almost demands a low-level trade somewhere. Carrying both Nix and Baker (both out of options) probably requires you to carry a backup SS, too, leaving little room for the other things you'd like to have on the roster. Baker is the obvious candidate to be moved.
