SAN DIEGO -- Christian Villanueva's long-term place on the San Diego roster is as uncertain as it's ever been. That much was made painfully clear earlier this month when the Padres embarked on their Wil Myers-at-third-base experiment.
Where does that leave Villanueva, who has started 90 games there this season? Well, he's currently on the outside looking in when it comes to starting jobs. But those starts might not be so scarce after all.
While the Padres experiment with Myers at third, they'll conduct a similar experiment with Villanueva.
