Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3348346, member: 2504"] As far as Phoenix Billings goes, it's the same old recruiting story. The most athletic kids start out at SS, and then get moved elsewhere or to where they are needed as they move up levels in the world of baseball. In recruiting listings you see plenty of SS listed, not nearly as many at 2B or 3B. It's not a big surprise to me when a kid who is initially listed as a SS ends up in the OF as well. As for Christoforo, I just try to list players where the recruiting services seem to list them. It can be the ultimate in trying to read tea leaves, so to speak. Catcher has been listed for him, even if though they would also seem to say that they thought he would literally outgrow the position. [/QUOTE]
