Figgins over the past two years has rated as a great defensive 3B by PMR, Dewan (#2 defensive player runs saved behind Gutierrez), RZR, OOZ (2nd last year), UZR, etc. Scouts love him, fans rate him very highly as well.
Figgins' elite D looks pretty legitimate to me and if he doesn't translate into an awesome defensive 2B, its hard to see how the move is going to make any sense. Not even getting into Lopez at 3B...
I'm going to give it a chance, but I don't see the logic in it unless BOTH players look like naturals at their new positions starting on opening day.
