No one else on this team makes that play at first. This team is not making the playoffs. Let him get time their to get use to the throws coming at him. Didn't Pujols starts at third and is not at first?
So then whos your everyday third baseman- Tracy? Roberts? It seems like Tracys glass legs would make it impossible for him to play over there. But the D'backs need his (left handed) bat in the lineup, even though its been cold so far.
Give this guy a shot to play third.

I don't think more youth, especially youth thats being called up from AA is really what this team needs.
Mark's errors have come mainly from throwing the ball, not catching it. He's made some spectacular catches. With this roster, 1B is ideal for him.
And that should help his hitting. Because right now, he's our cleanup hitter and protection for Justin Upton.
