LOS ANGELES -- A trimmer Yasiel Puig, after serving as barista at a neighborhood coffee shop in a Dodgers community appearance, on Monday said he wants "to be a starter again, whether it's here or somewhere else."
Less than a month before Spring Training and six months after a Minor League demotion, Puig has been working out at Dodger Stadium the last two weeks. He is conditioning his leaner body to avoid injuries that have plagued him and working with batting coaches in search of regaining the impact bat that once had him on the verge of superstardom.
