Is J.T. Riddle the Marlins centerfielder of the future?

What will the Miami Marlins do with J.T. Riddle now that he has been promoted back to the Major League team after time with Triple-A New Orleans? As he came up through the team’s minor league system, the Kentucky native was an infielder.

Riddle, who replaces Neil Walker on the 25-man roster as the team announced the veteran has been placed on the 10-day IL, now has center fielder written all over him.

At least that is how the coaching staff sees it.

“I envision him in center,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.
