Phillies: Jean Segura looks shaky in 3B debut

Right now the Phillies are in a dead zone at third base, moving on from Maikel Franco but not ready to anoint top prospect Alec Bohm as their starter.

In the meantime, they’ll try Scott Kingery and Jean Segura, neither natural third basemen, over at the hot corner.

Segura, who has never played third base, got the start on Sunday over at third in his first action of the season.

There was the good, the bad, and the ugly when it came to Segura’s spring opener. He made several plays at third, but two stood out.
