Rangers utility player Drew Robinson started his fourth game in center field this spring on Sunday afternoon. Second base (11 starts) is the only position he has played more. Although he’s no stranger to center field (he started 16 games there for Triple A Round Rock in 2016), the looks the major league club has given him there this spring could be important down the road in the 2017 regular season.
Robinson’s chances to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster appear slim at the moment. That has less to do with how he fared this spring and more to do with how well Ryan Rua and Delino DeShields have played.
