Because he probably can't play the position any better than Mark Teahen.
And because we have 3-4 middle infield prospects at that position already, not to mention we still have to trade Gordon Beckham first.
You trade Beckham for whatever you can get at the trade deadline. Gillaspie plays second the rest of the year when the standings don't matter and learns the position.
Semien plays third for the rest of this season, but obviously isn't the answer. So we try again to acquire a strong third baseman in the offseason.
If we trade Lexi, let L. Garcia play ss the rest of the year til that Anderson guy takes over next year.
