LSU Baseball: PM moving Jake Slaughter to 1b

"Also: Mainieri taking a look at freshman Jake Slaughter at first base
#LSU"
I LOVE this move. Slaughter and Smith were really close at 3B, but Smith is better defensively at that spot. And Slaughter has been playing too good not to get a shot somewhere. But then you have Adams crushing (bad defense) and another freshman in Templet who is raw but can hit the a ton and will be the 1B of the future once Kramer and Freeman go and Slaughter/Smith take up the middle.
People wondering about Deichmann: He sucked at 1B and is moved to RF where he's more likely to play at the next level anyway. Should be nice having at least one arm out there. With Pap batting so well, Breaux showing is potential, and Romero needing a bat, odd men out? Jordan twins and Reid.

Bummer, because he punched well above his weight last season and it was fun to watch.

About time. I thought he would have been moved back there mid last season after some of his early defensive struggles.

Bryce Jordan had the 3rd best OBP in the SEC last season.
Reid had the 6th best OBP in the SEC last season.
Maybe your analysis will prove to be correct, but unless these two forgot how to play baseball in the offseason I would expect both to start in 2017.
