Not when we have 3-4 guys at that position already. If he can't play 3B well enough, it's going to be like Mark Teahen turning the DP at second.
If Semien can play 3B better defensively, he might be playing himself into a platoon situation...with Marcus in the Keppinger/Leury Garcia role.
Well...1-5 is quickly turning into 1-6. The curse of DeAza's muffed catch. One has a feeling that this nosedive isn't going to be one they recover from and they will end up at -10 to -14. They're also (like the Braves) running into a schedule buzzsaw of teams who are extremely motivated to win each time out, whereas as hopes for the wild card disappeared for the Sox last weekend.

Why would you think he could handle 2B?
He has the arm of a second basemen and he'd have more time to react, which seems to be a big problem for him.
And caulfield, he doesn't necessarily have to be a 2B on our team.
