Per Z on KJR a short while ago,
-Ackley is not moving off of 2nd, for any reason really. No moves to the outfield for him. Too much time and effort invested in to making him not only a serviceable 2B, but a 'natural' one.
-He looooves Catricala and sees him as a big part of the M's (near) future. While he didn't say so specifically, I got the impression he felt about Cat at 3B the way he felt about Ack at 2B. i.e., he only moves from there if he's completely inept. Sounds like they are going for stability where they have young cornerstone-type players at key defensive positions.
