I was kind of thinking it might be nice to get a john mcdonald type elite defender for backup, so this would be nice.

 

Maybe he can teach Alexei a thing or two.

 

Bingo. That was my very first thought. This guy is reknown as one of the smartest players to ever play the game. If you can bring a guy like this in to teach your very young IF a few things (both Becks and Ramirez) this is win win.

I noticed that last year he played 2B, SS and 3B. Prior, he had really only played SS. For his defense alone this could be a pretty good move.

I am sure he will do his filling in, but to me, this is a great move as essentially another coach.

That's the key here. Visquez literally tutored Elvis Andrus last year. This is pretty much like what Lindsay Hunter does for the Bulls, i wouldn't be suprised if this wasn't to help transition Beckham and Alexei into defensive roles.
