You know, & it's not like Izturis has even wowed with the glove this spring. Although I would have zero worries about a guy with a good rep and/or skillset at SS handling 2B. I'd guess the reason Izturis hasn't really played 2B is that, through his career, he's just been a slam-dunk option as a SS defender. So, after all, this is a Doug Melvin team -- defense be damned! Honestly though Fontenot's bat alone would probably outweigh whatever small edge Izturis may have on defense at this point.
