They need to figure something out
Something isn't right with Ernie's 2B defense. The team's best defensive alignment probably has him at 3B.
The backup infielder on the roster is the worst hitter in baseball and he can only play 2B and 1B (poorly, at that)
Schneider could not hit at all, and can only cover 2B anyway
Barger is hurt but even when he is back he can only cover 3B, so he just allows you to maybe play Okamoto at 1B sometimes
AAA has McAdoo as a maybe 3B/1B option and Kasevich as a light hitting no power MIF option but both of these guys are likely nothingburgers and they have no MLB experience
Any interesting AAA prospect is a corner outfielder (Schreck, mainly).
The only interesting MIF prospect anywhere close to MLB is Nimmala
They really need an option to emerge that can at least cover 2B or SS and provide MLB quality depth there. Nobody exists at the moment.
Myles Straw is an athletic freak, he can probably play second base. Range for days.
