Michael Conforto should get right field exposure during spring training

NEW YORK -- Curtis Granderson started 141 games in right field last season for the New York Mets. With Michael Cuddyer retired, who now mans the position when Granderson is out of the lineup?

General manager Sandy Alderson indicated Wednesday that he expects Michael Conforto and Alejandro De Aza to get exposed to the position during spring training.

As for Yoenis Cespedes, Alderson added: "Right now I'm not counting on him playing any right field."

Conforto has played left field exclusively during his professional career. De Aza has appeared in 74 games (52 starts) in right field during his eight-year major league career.
