Second to None
The Rockies are getting plenty of offense from their second basemen this season. With Barmes taking the collar bone break, Eddy Garabito picked up the slack. He was two for five tonight to lower his batting average to .410. When Barmes comes back, the Rockies might want to think about keeping the two of them together in the infield with Garabito at shortstop.

Clint Barmes is a shortstop. He made 53 starts at short this season out of 54 games (he pinch hit the other game). Garabito would stay at second base if Barmes comes back this season.
Garabito played over 30 games at SS in AAA this year, so that's where he'll likely be when Aaron Miles comes back. Once Barmes returns, they may have some depth at middle infield (Although Garabito never really hit in the minors before playing at Colorado Springs, and Miles still hasn't hit at all in the Majors).
