If you're playing against a heavy lefty batting lineup. Would you ever consider playing your SS at 2B, and a backup SS at SS?

Just because there are a bunch of LH batters, it doesn't mean they are all going to hit the ball to that side of the infield. There is a push / pull rating you know ....

I don't think that should matter, because the range requirements for 2b and SS are about the same, and the reason that a 2b's arm can be weaker is because he's closer to first base.  Doing that would give you a negligible defensive boost, but presumably a definitive offensive drain.
