Actually, this is a well needed move.

Forget Queens for a second... the Las Vegas team currently lines up with 3 first basemen (Eric Campbell, Alan Dykstra, Josh Satin), one second baseman (Reese Havens), one shortstop (Wilfredo Tovar) and three third basemen (Zach Lutz, Jefry Marte, Wilmer Flores).

I don't expect Satin or Lutz to be around.

And Havens is still a big question mark. I would send him back to Binghamton to get his shit together, but Danny Muno is pushing him along.

And third base is Flores' job until whenever... 

Lastly, Marte never did make any decent move to second base (why?) so I have no idea where to play him.

I'm sure Hicks will be given an opportunity to make the Queens team, but he has AAA backup written all over him.

Lots of speed here. Has hit 18-HRs two years n a row at the AAA level, bu there isn't a ball thrown he won't swing at:  2 yrs - 689-AB, 252-K, 88-BB

Good move.
