\n You would think staring down Mike Trout from the pitching mound would be the answer. Or attempting to figure out what well-above-average pitch Gerrit Cole was going to throw to make you look ill.<\/p>\n

Yet, many players will tell you the most difficult thing to accomplish at baseball\u2019s highest level is changing positions once in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

Which, of course, Miguel Andujar continues to try and do.<\/p>\n

With Gio Urshela\u2019s breakout 2019, which added a very solid bat to Gold Glove defense at third base while Andujar recovered from right shoulder surgery that limited him to a dozen game<\/a>s, the Yankees are trying to find additional positions for the talented 25-year-old hitter.<\/p>\n

The experiment started in February and March \u2014 when Andujar played third, first base and the outfield \u2014 and has continued in spring training 2.0.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I feel much more comfortable comparing going back to the time in Tampa spring training,\u2019\u2019 Andujar said when asked Wednesday the difference between now and when he started working at positions other than at third. \u201cI think [the shutdown] has allowed me to have more practice to get more comfortable with the position out there, doing a lot of drills and listening to the coaches.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Andujar finished second to the Angels\u2019 Shohei Ohtani in the 2018 AL Rookie of the Year race thanks to a .297 average with 27 homers and 92 RBIs, but his defense at third needed work not only to cut down on the 15 errors but also to get to more balls.<\/p>\n

Had he not been hurt early last season, it\u2019s likely the right-handed bat would have stayed productive, but when Andujar went down Urshela got a chance and delivered.<\/p>\n

Though Urshela has to prove that last year\u2019s career-best numbers at the plate (.314, 21 HRs and 74 RBIs) weren\u2019t a one-season stand, if the bat doesn\u2019t produce, the Yankees could turn back to Andujar at third, where he continued to work during the shutdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a matter of balancing working at third base and working in the outfield,\u201d he said. \u201cI worked at both positions the same amount of time.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
