I cringe at the thought of Lopez starting the season at 3B. Anybody that saw the game vs Milkwaukee could have seen he's downright terrible at the position right now. He was akward, had no idea how much time he had to make throws, and looked extremely uncomfortable.
In an ideal situation Figgins would be manning 2B, because he's already made 2-3 plays that have gotte "Wows" from the bloggers watching these ST games. He would be a large improvement over Lopez at 2B. However, given how futile Lopez looked at 3B, I have no idea how they could justify taking the field on April 5th with Jose at third.
You just cannot improve that much in 2-3 weeks. I don't understand why the organization did not have Jose in Arizona, in January working out at 3B, if this was a move they wanted to make.
