When you look at today’s game, being able to play multiple positions is important. Look at a guy like Ben Zobrist of the Tampa Bay Rays. He can play seven positions.
With versatility, it makes it easier for the manager to shake things up, and make in-game substitutions. When someone gets hurt, these are guys that you can plug in.
One of the main reasons why Michael Martinez made the team is because of his ability to play the outfield and infield. He played center field on Sunday in place of Victorino, but he’ll also see time at second base.
The same goes for Wilson Valdez. He can play the outfield and infield as well.
