Against Boston the same day that he had the two home runs, the moonshots, he had two plays at short for two easy outs, looked effortless.

And then he threw one in the dirt and it had a throwing error.

I think you're going to see that.

I think you're going to see a guy who's still getting comfortable fielding ground balls from major league hitters that the game is going to speed up on him.

And I think the thing about Connor Griffin that seems to amaze everyone, but the guy who points it out repeatedly is the adjustments that Connor Griffin can make on the fly, whether it's at the plate or in the field.

Donnie Kelly points it out on an almost daily basis that how impressed he is that this is a guy who adapts very easily to his surroundings and makes adjustments mid-game, maybe from one bat to the next or from one play short to the next.

So I don't think it's going to be an issue.

He looks the part.

He's got a great arm.

He's very fluid.

He can move.

He's got good range.

Will he eventually someday outgrow

shortstop, you know, if he ends up being a 240 pounder, very possible that maybe he moves to third base or he moves to the outfield.

But I don't think that's an issue right now.

I think he moves very, very well right now at 225 pounds.

And I think he probably projects as the best of the group at shortstop, although I don't say that as an affront to Jared Triolo, who

as a gold glove utility guy and who handled shortstop much better than anyone expected last year when he played there for the first time as a major leaguer, I think.

But Griffin, that's why the writers and the people that are coming through and seeing Connor Griffin, we're seeing a guy who looks different than major leaguers.

He looks like a cut above them already.
