Padres want Myers focused on 1 position for '19

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Wil Myers reported to camp as a left fielder over the weekend. This year, the Padres fully intend to keep him there.

Positionally, it's been an eventful few years for Myers in San Diego, where -- over a four-season span -- he's been a starter in center field, then first base. Then right field, then left field, then third.

Two months ago, the Padres finally decided to settle things for Myers, moving him permanently to left, where he was rated very highly by most defensive metrics early last season.
