I don't think the possible gains in offense would be worth the negative effect of defense.
Either way Lopez will never be a Red again. They dumped him once because they apparently didn't want him, I can't see them changing their minds about that now.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Lopez on the A's next year.
School's out. What did you expect?
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
I guess I disagree with the majority.
I think FeLo would be a fine defensive 2B and Phillips, ideally, would have been at SS from the beginning.
This roster needs the exact type of bat that FeLo provides. He had one bad year. I'll take the longer view when judging his future as a player in MLB.
And yet he lost that job to the older Ron Belliard.I think FeLo would be a fine defensive 2B
Faster then you could say Phil Plantier, Willie Green, Chris Brown, Tracy Jones or Fernando Tatis.... POOF... it could all be gone.
Actually he's only had one good year and he's horrible going to his right, which is not a good thing for a second baseman.
Seriously, if he was able to cut it don't you think he'd have stuck in Toronto, Washington or Cincinnati? It's not like any of those franchises are teaming with talent.

Look at how he got jerked around last year in Washington.
I would posit he has been playing out of position his entire career.
I would love to see his stat line over an entire season penciled in at 2nd base.
