Players get moved at the minor league level all the time. Schumaker's situation was significant because the shift was made completely at the big league level.

The move seems more plausible given the Skip Schumaker switch. Dave Cameron has some good tentative observations about the success of that move at Fangraphs: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/revisiting-schumaker A no-cost experiment with upside. Hard to go wrong. I do wonder why Haverman hasn't been shifted before. I have no idea how his athleticism compares to Schumaker. Cheers Very interesting.
