Swisher or Reynolds at 1b?

Saw that Mark was DH his first game, and Nick was at first. Can't figure that one out, or is just me? Mark seems the better choice defensively at first base.

I'd choose Swisher over Reynolds at 1B pretty easily. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy when I see the Baltimore media regurgitating the idea of Reynolds as a plus defender as if it were fact.

He also seems the better choice at 3B over Swisher

Once they signed Bourn, that was the end of Mark's chances at 1B baring injury.

Pretty sure the Indians announced during ST that Swisher would be the regular 1B.

That's shocking that they would put the clear GG frontrunner at DH. :rolleyestf:

Ok, ok. BUT when was the last time Swisher played 1b regularly? I don't recall him being a great defender in Oakland. Good, but not great. Either way though, one of those two is going to be at 1b and the other at dh, so it really doesn't matter.
