According to reports, if I'm correct, Lopez was not told of the change until the beginning of spring -- meaning that the final decision came AFTER the brain trust decided that Ackley was 'for real' at 2b.
Logic: Figgins won't be traded. Ackley won't be traded. All three of them don't fit in the infield at the same time. Therefore, Lopez will be traded, and they must think that the versatility enhances his value and won't hurt the overall team in the meantime.
Figgins will be the 3b when Ackley starts playing full time (next year or later this year), right?
