Adams taking reps in the outfield

Well, not anymore.

Manager Mike Matheny revealed the organization's plans to get Adams increased exposure in left field over the final weeks of Spring Training. That started in earnest on Saturday, when Adams joined other outfielders for a morning discussion with instructor Willie McGee.

Adams then planted himself in left field during batting practice so that he could track fly balls. For a player who has played exclusively at first base since being drafted, it's an unfamiliar perspective -- but also one that would enhance his versatility and perhaps give Adams another way to see more time on the field.
