Joc Pederson has shown 'he's pretty confident and accurate' during drills at first base as the SFGiants begin their spring training games.
"I just had a conversation with Kap, obviously [with us] adding two more outfielders," he said."I said, 'If you had to put me at first base right now in a game, I wouldn't feel very comfortable.' This was before spring training. But if I didn't take any fly balls and you said go play outfield, I'd be like, 'OK, cool.' I'm very comfortable in the outfield. It's just to expand my versatility and the team's versatility and needs.
Pederson will be the everyday designated hitter against right-handed pitchers and will fill in on the field as needed. He still takes fly balls in left field, and an injury there could force a change in plans. He also could end up seeing real time at first if Wade misses time. The other two options -- Wilmer Flores and J.D. Davis -- both hit right-handed.
"You learn from your mistakes and Kai has been working really hard with me, extra hours, trying to get right," Pederson said,"And I feel really comfortable."
