A 3B will see about 90 X-chart chances in a season. A 2e59 will make errors on 59 of them, and fail to get to 10% of the remaining 31 = about 62 outs turned into hits.

A 4e24 will make 24 errors and fail to get to 30% of the remaining 66, or another 20 - total of 44 outs turned into hits. The 3b-2 will also convert about 55% of his double play chances, while the 3b-4 will convert only about 30%. But not every X-chart roll will be with a runner on 1st and less than 2 out. So the net difference will be only a small handful of extra DP's for the 2.

Looks like he is deciding on a bench player. General rule for bench players - go for defense up the middle and bats in the corners.
