I remember a long while back looking for players who transition from a career of OF to the IF.  It was pretty tough, but the one recent guy I found was Melvin Mora.  It will be interested to see if Skip can make the transition.  He seems to be an all-round solid fielder according to Cardinals fans.  His top comps are littered with middle infielders. 

And here’s a related blog post from the same paper.
