PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Who was that guy playing shortstop Thursday during brief infield drills at Tradition Field?
Man of many talents, Yoenis Cespedes. Just call him the Mets’ ‘Ces S.’
Get it?
Cespedes took grounders at short – for fun only, conspiracy theorists – and left this impression, at least on a reporter: The outfielder might’ve made a pretty good infielder.
Cespedes, his hat turned backward and a blue glove with orange stitching on his right hand, snagged bouncers and fired off hard snap throws while working alongside teammate Asdrubal Cabrera, the Mets’ real shortstop.
