I guess I didn't dig far enough (damn work!)... Minnesota Twins vs. Oakland Athletics - Recap - July 20, 2009 - ESPN

This shows PU at about 1:30-2:30 (on a clock face). It looks like on the past ball he shifted towords 1B (3BLX) and then when the throw came he moved closer to the 1BL. That seems like strange positioning, I thought as the PU you should typically be on one of the BLXs, and then shift slightly as the play develops. Is there something here I am missing?
