I'm not sure what I think of this. On one hand, Neil Walker probably shouldn't catch every day, and the Pirates have a hole at third that I doubt their best prospect there, Jose Bautista, can adequately fill. On the other, I wonder whether learning a new position - and not a particularly easy one, at that - might be distracting for Walker's hitting. Walker is a tremendously important part of the Pirates' future. If the Pirates want to fill a hole in their lineup by screwing around with one of their many catching prospects, I'd prefer it not be their best one. On the other hand, he is the youngest, and perhaps the best suited for the switch.
