CJ Abrams Open To Playing Any Position
3 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop CJ Abrams has a solid chance to be part of the team's Opening Day roster. And it seems as if Abrams is eager to do anything it will take to help his case. On Tuesday, the 21-year-old prospect spoke to the press and said, "Any position to help me get on the team, I'm willing to do it. Right field, center field, shortstop, second base, anything." Abrams has primarily played shortstop and second base in the majors and the team certainly needs help at shortstop to open the year with Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) out. However, the team seems very interested in utilizing Abrams in the outfield. His versatility could be a difference-maker in deciding whether he'll be on the Opening Day roster. Over 16 games this spring, Abrams has slashed .324/.361/.529 with two home runs and three stolen bases.
