Is that the 2B Yahtzee slot is much harder to fill than the 3B slot.
The old Fangraphs positional adjustment conditions us to think that 2B = 3B, but this is far from the case.   The league averages for hitting might be similar at the moment, but the issue is degree-of-difficulty. 
If 60% of ML teams have a 3B replacement they like, and 20% have a 2B replacement they like -- just to take a hypothetical -- then Figgins is worth far more as a quality 2B mitt than as a very good 3B mitt.

I'll bet you a dollar that the PMR's and UZR's bear me out on Figgins and Lopez this year.  :- )
