I'd feel safer with both guys playing at positions they're already familiar with. Maybe in a year's time the learning curve will be over and this move could work out but is Lopez going to be with us next year? What happens if Ackley is ready to play 2B next year? Does Chone switch back again? This is a pretty risky move in my mind and it sounds like at least Lopez (and maybe Chone as well) is reluctant to do it. I don't like the "he looks more like a second baseman" argument. Pretty pathetic reasoning. I’m with you. I’d feel safer with both guys playing at positions they’re already familiar with.
