As reported earlier this week, Alex Rodriguez will begin to take grounders at first base and work with infield coach Joe Espada over the All-Star break. In 2015, he played two games at first, made one error, and big picture did not look comfortable at all. He quickly returned to being the Yankees’ designated hitter.
In 2016 while acting as the Yankees’ full-time DH, A-Rod has not seen the field once – and it should remain that way. He is not the answer at first base.
Rodriguez has previously spoke on playing DH, as mentioned in an article by Randy Miller of NJ.
