Where will Lawrie debut?

I actually think the Crew is making a mistake putting Lawrie at catcher. I agree; I'd stick him at 3rd base. It's a greater organizational need, and 3B is an easier position, which should hasten his big bat to the parent club. On the other hand, it is true that if there's a position where a major league ballclub wants an embarrassment of riches it is catcher.

 

I really, more than any other player, wish I was privy to their discussion on Lawrie. What do they see that convinces them catcher is where he should be? Why couldn't he adapted better to the easier position at 3B? Maybe they are right and see something we don't.

He could probably play 2B too, but if Dykstra is moving back there then 3B would be the next logical choice. I think Lawrie's bat will play much faster than the rest of his game, we'll just have to see.
