My buddie OBPTrain over in the Stratonerds League thinks they are moving Scott Hairston back to 2B in SD. Is there no word on that out of Spring Training? Perhaps SD told Zduriencik that they need a MLB ready 3rd bagger included in any trade for a 1B fixture.
It really makes no sense to sign a top defensive 3rd base FA to a 4 year deal with an option and then move him to the position that your best prospect was just moved to. During all the press following the Figgins signing, he stated so often how he's a 3rd baseman and how he takes such pride at his defense. We all assumed he was locked in at 3rd base about as much as we knew he was to be hitting in the 2 hole. Then again, I really think Figgins leading off followed by Bradley and then Ichiro would be intriguing. No need to bottle up both your SB guys behind each other.
