Tyler Ladendorf hasn’t played more than a couple of innings at second base since last year.
He was in the starting lineup for the A’s series finale in Toronto Sunday and neither he nor the A’s seemed at all concerned with the man who had been Nashville’s starting center fielder moving to the infield.
Ladendorf was drafted as a shortstop, and for much of his minor league career he’s been a second baseman, although the last couple of seasons have seen him make a transition to the outfield. When he made his big league debut last year, it was as a second baseman.
