I dont get why this is such a huge dilemma.

Baez is the SS pure and simple.

Russell can be on the team as a backup now. Just platoon at 2B.

Why is it considered some huge problem if Russell is not playing regularly?

Russell is a perfect platoon partner for Schwarber (Bote from 2B->3B, Bryant 3B->LF). Except they had to go sign Descalso since Russell wasn't available for the first quarter of the season. And anybody who wants Bote sent back to AAA now that he signed a contract extension is a dope.

Russell should stay in AAA until he can learn to hit a baseball instead of his ex-wife.

Yep. He's not really that great at hitting a baseball.
They can't / won't sell low in Russell. All they can do is hope he starts tearing it up in AAA to reclaim some of his trade value. Support him my ass....they'll deal him as soon as he's worth something.
