If you have 2 catchers and both are weak offensively, you play the better defender. Hands down.

He barreled up several outs too. The hardest hit he had all weekend was a line drive out directly to the right fielder.

I'd play him at 2nd. I know he's not great defensively but I think his bat out weighs his defensive inefficiencies.

Watching that replay, it seems O'Brien called for the ball as you can see Cupp stops running and turns around and looks at O'brien. Cupp then seems to decide that O'brien can't get there and Cupp re-engages. That is 1000% the center fielders ball. If he calls for it, get the hell out of his way and let him attempt to catch it. Luckily, both Lemonis and the guys on Saturday's pregame radio broadcast said it was just a bruise and he was day to day.
