If Vinnie is given a chance to play for the job at 3B, he'll probably win that job. Leaving the 2012 lineup (on Opening Day, perhaps) with 62% of their starting lineup manning positions that everybody agreed they obviously could not:
Dustin Ackley 2B - one of the most controversial moves in recent years.
Carp LF - a garden-variety "he's an embarrassment in LF" grade.
Montero C - "The sooner they get him to DH, the better" consensus.
Catricala 3B -
Figgins SS
The glove players would be CF, RF, 1B.
...........
The implications of this would probably be that Ryan and/or Kawasaki would have to play SS, and that Figgins the leadoff hitter would play a different position every night. Tony Phillips.
