Jedd Gyorko Plays Shortstop Against Braves

Throughout his career before being drafted, Jedd Gyorko had occupied the shortstop position. Upon being drafted, it was unknown where exactly he would fit. Coming up through the minors, Gyorko played mostly third base and has, since being promoted to The Show, manned down second base. On Monday against the Braves, for the first time in his professional career, Jedd Gyorko played shortstop.
