Before you toss the idea out the door, hear my 3 reasons.
A, Franchez has played there before with Pittsburgh and was actually very good over there (1340 innings, URZ/150 16.2).
2, we have more guys that can play second than who can play third. Theriot, Burriss, Arias all 2B, but none are reliable everyday at 3rd. When Franchez returns, the only 2 guys you can send down are Arias and Gillaspie. Arias has been playing like he is here to stay and is the most reliable of the bunch at 3rd in a pinch.
D, if Gillaspie continues to struggle and Culberson continues to tear it up, they could switch. Gillaspie down, Culberson up. Franchez at 3rd, Craw SS, Culby 2nd, *Belt 1st. Franchez playing third gives the Giants more flexibility with Pablo out, and could resurrect his Giants career. He shows he can play 2nd/3rd still, he may earn himself a new ML contract.
But before all, he needs to throw a damn baseball!
