forget whether it was Larry LaRue or Larry Stone - reporting the first day out of camp, he said on the radio that Lopez was blindsided by the move when he arrived in camp, and looked quite unhappy out at his position.
Drayer said the opposite. But, in any case, interesting take on the timing of the Ackley assessment & all...

Ya, Figgins goes back to 3B, which is no problemo.
Still, for some reason, we haven't seen this idea gain traction: (1) EVERYbody says the Padres will trade AGone as soon as they go 12-25, right? (2) The M's have replacements at 3B but not 2B, right?
For some reason, it seems M's fans aren't particularly *crazy* about a trade for Gonzalez. Hm.
