Instead of going to the ball and scooping it out, he is falling back to wait out the hop. That technique is not right at all. I don't know what his deal is this year but I think Paulie is a better defensive 1B then Swish.

I think Swish is better overall, but, they do both have certain aspects of the game they excel at. Swish has better range and a better arm. Paulie is better handling bad throws.

Swish has better range and a better arm. Paulie is better handling bad throws. But, at least from what I've seen...the picking/handling bad throws part is a skill that can be learned. You can't learn range or learn arm.
