31-35.

They gave him Matt Holliday's money and traded raw power for OBP and a little defensive versatility. Not a disaster by any stretch but the loss of the pick hurts.

But this can't be the only thing they do. This isn't a difference making move on its own. They came into this off-season needing a CFer and a run producer. Turner at 3b is perfect but if not, Encarnacion at 1b and Carpenter back to 3b will work.
