"Kevin Youkilis won a Gold Glove playing first base and twice made the All-Star team at that position. Only three Red Sox — Mo Vaughn, Jimmie Foxx, and George Scott — have hit more home runs while playing the position.

But it's not where Youkilis wanted to be. He was a third baseman at the University of Cincinnati and played the position for five seasons in the minor leagues. Youkilis made the switch to first base when the Red Sox traded for third baseman Mike Lowell prior to the 2006 season because it made the most sense for the team at the time.

Now Youkilis is back where he feels be belongs, shifting across the diamond to accommodate the arrival of first baseman Adrian Gonzalez."
