Signed to a 1-year/$1.5M free agent deal this past March, Ehire Adrianza, a 32-year-old, 10-year veteran, gave Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez multiple options in his infield mix.
“Adrianza, obviously he’s another super-u guy that we plan on using everywhere,” Martinez told reporters early in Spring Training.
“Can play some second, some short, some third, and even some outfield,” the manager said of the addition. “And he has played first base as well.”
“Adrianza is going to play a little bit of everywhere, that’s why we got him,” Martinez added a few days later.
“He can play everywhere in the infield, he can play the outfield, he’s a switch-hitter, but I love having him here.
