Yankees.com: Castro to take grounders at hot corner

The Yankees are throwing plenty at Starlin Castro this spring, asking him to transition to a new team while preparing to handle everyday duties at second base. Just for good measure, they’ve also asked him if he feels comfortable taking grounders at third base.

Castro doesn’t seem rattled by this growing list of job responsibilities. A three-time All-Star who served as the Cubs’ starting shortstop until last season, Castro is hoping that a change of scenery will help him return to the form that has seen him tally 992 hits in just six big league seasons.
