Sat Mar 24 2012 | 09:44 | Indians trying Donald as backup centerfield |
According to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian, the Jason Donald outfield experiment could influence the way the Indians align their Opening Day bench. |
Donald started in centerfield for the second game in a row on Friday, and is getting a hard look as a backup outfielder. "We need to see more," manager Manny Acta said. "It gives us more flexibility to get creative at the end if we have to. I think he's going to play more centerfield going forward." With Donald excelling as an outfielder, Aaron Cunningham, Ryan Spilborghs and Felix Pie could all become expendable. |
