Our position preview series rolls on from a disappointing Guardians outfield, to a confusing bullpen, and now onto an infield that is probably going to finish the season a lot different than it starts.
For now, the crew is expected to look something like this:
- C: Austin Hedges
- 1B: Bobby Bradley
- 2B: Yu Chang
- SS: Andres Gimenez
- 3B: José Ramírez
If you’re confused about that second base and shortstop combination — so was I. But MLB.com’s Mandy Bell indicated that the Guardians are rolling with Amed Rosario as an outfielder, which leaves Gimenez as the everyday shortstop and gives Chang another shot at sticking somewhere in the infield.
