David Wright certainly could do a good job in the 2 spot also. But the problem with that kind of move is that it unbalances the rest of the lineup. And while Wright could probably hit with success anywhere, LoDuca would be much less effective batting in the bottom third of the lineup, which is where he would end up.

I do agree, though, that if LoDuca had an unexpected drop-off, the move would make a lot more sense.
