ARLINGTON -- Kevin Kiermaier might be the best fielder in baseball, and you can take the might out of the equation if you ask his manager, Kevin Cash, who thinks he is the best at any position.
Now the Rays' center fielder's skill set is expanding to the offensive side, as well. Included in this year's progression was Kiermaier's fledgling skills as a basestealer.
Kiermaier was not in the lineup for the final game of the season after getting hit with a pitch on his left calf, leaving him with a contusion that makes running an exercies in pain.
