Well presented, Spec.
The Figgins issue has always been just as we see it today.  He is a mediocre infielder being payed for the '07 season where he had atronomically good luck (BABIP) and an '09 season where he had an outlier number of walks.  Minus those two seasons (even minus just the '07 season), he is simply Kennedy's equal. Not much else. 
Z sold his General Managerial soul last year by backing Figgins and praying for value this year.  Might still happen.  I'm not holding my breath.  He had a window to ship Figgy this winter.  It may have closed.
We need a bat at #2 in the line up.  I'll still root for Figgy.  I won't bet much, though.  I think the #2 hole guy is playing 2nd base for Tacoma.
But even with a hot Ackley up....Can Wedge even thiink about dropping Figgy in the lineup?  Bad pat mojo there.
June can't get here fast enough.
Ackley at 2nd.  Rodriguez at third and batting 7th....and somebody warm and with a potential bat hitting against lefties and playing center (assuming Guit remains "crappy")...Such is the stuff of my dreams.
