The PBUC manual makes no mention of "moving to position" prior to the ball being caught. It says to "begin your reaction."
Well, no sh*t. We all begin our reaction, otherwise we would, as SoCal said, be looking up the rear-end of the runner.
I begin my reaction when I know the runner is going. I get ready to pounce into action, weight on the balls of my feet, ready to push off with my left foot at a perfect angle. I know the exact spot I'm going to run to. By instinct, I know when to turn into the play and set. Voila, I'm right there.
But take off willy-nilly before the ball reaches the catcher? Never.
