In general I agree, but I think the postions are much closer than we were led to believe. 3B deals more in preventing XBHs while 2B has more opportunities (but 3B has more OOZ plays).
Orlando Hudson is a roughly comparable player to Adrian Beltre coming off a more productive season. Beltre got twice of Hudson's deal.
Felipe Lopez had 4+ WAR season last year at 2B and isn't even going to make $2mil gauranteed this year.
I do think 2B is more valuable (might be something updated by Tango later on), but these positions are pretty close in value. Its not nearly going to be as big as the adjustment from SS to 2B.
