Jordan Weems playing first base? Hmmmm.. When I saw the note that he was being carried as an infielder, I assumed it was a paper thing. That really surprises me and doesn't seem like it's in his best interest. He's got above average catcher tools and doesn't have a good enough bat to make it as a first baseman. I'm guessing it's a numbers game with all the upper level catchers we have. For this game, they moved Witte to third base where he misjudged an easy popup and put utility guy Miller who was expected to be the third baseman as the DH.

Benintendi is probably bored out of his mind in high-A.

Benintendi is probably bored out of his mind in high-A. Maybe Moncada as well. If you think about it, Moncada has faced better pitching in Cuba than Benintendi faced in college.

Maybe not at this point with all the defections but Cuba had the rough equivalent of AA pitching when Moncada was there. I recall discussions about equivalencies and Cuba and Japan were considered about equal to AA at the time and top conferences near high A level. I'll grant that SEC is generally at or near the top of college pitching though and both faced some excellent pitchers in their travels.

It seems like they are absolutely doing their jobs. Let's hope they keep working the plan. Moncada getting on base and Benny driving the ball to all fields. Fantastic start to their season!
