put forth thus far consists of observations about Lopez' particular physical makeup, physical skills (very impressive first step/reactions both in the field and in the box) and stronger than average arm.  Those things are first.  The UZR is just statistical data to support (tentatively) these observations which *seem* to indicate that 3B is a naturally good fit for Jose.
The implication was also made that Kyle Blanks is unlikely to be Endy Chavez out there, due to the Adam Dunn 400lb remark.  Thusly, we have:
1. Jose Lopez looks like he *should* be an above average 3B
2. The data seems to support this.
3. The Padres have *apparent* defensive shortcomings at COF, which could be addressed by;
4. Acquiring Lopez to play 3B, freeing Headley (a naturally athletic guy, likely to contribute defensively at any corner position, a notion which is supported by his previous playing time at COF) to move from 3B to COF, while simultaneously;
5. Sliding Blanks into the least demanding defensive position on the diamond, 1B.
Personally, I think it's a good fit.  More flexibility always helps.  A RF who can play 3B, a 3B who can play 2B and a 1B who can play RF make for all kinds of potential late-game moves with potential impact.
