Just my preference, as I think some people don't realize how important a good first baseman is to a team.

He seems to be gaining weight already and sounds like he is going to be close to the size of Ryan Howard. Lets hope his power generates like Howard's, but considering the lack of first base talent in the system, this seemed like a no brainer. Might as well start teaching him the position now, rather than later. I thought this was the most likely place for him.
