Panda just needs to lose about 30 lbs for his own health and also for the team. If and when he does that, he is the best option at 3B..

Third basemen
Garrett Atkins (31) - $8.5MM club option with a $500K buyout
Adrian Beltre (32) - $5MM player option with a $1MM buyout. Option reaches $10MM with 640 PAs in 2010.
Geoff Blum (38) - $1.65MM mutual option
Jorge Cantu (29)
Eric Chavez (33) - $12.5MM club option with a $3MM buyout
Craig Counsell (40)
Pedro Feliz (36)
Jerry Hairston Jr. (35)
Bill Hall (31) - $9.25MM club option with a $500K buyout
