CLEVELAND -- Lonnie Chisenhall understood that there would be an adjustment period as a center fielder. Before he headed out to the position on Thursday, one of his main concerns was line drives directly over his head. Of course, Chisenhall got two of them.
"That's how baseball is," Chisenhall said with a laugh on Sunday morning. "The ball will find you."
Chisenhall broke into the big leagues as a third baseman, but made a transition to right field with little issue two years ago. He was forced to learn that position quickly on the big league stage, and he knows it will be a similar situation this season with center.
