Yankees C prospect Peter O'Brien with hot start

Yankees prospect catcher Peter O'Brien is hitting .333/.369/.717 through his first 16 games for High-A Tampa.

The Yankees put O'Brien at third base last year for 38 games, but he made 18 errors on 91 chances and has yet to appear at the hot corner in 2014. He has appeared in three games in right field, but those appear to be a way to give him a night off from his catching duties. O'Brien has big time power, as is shown by his 22 home runs in 2013 and six in 16 games in 2014, but he is not a great defensive catcher and the Yankees appear to be looking for a way to get him from behind the dish.
