Santana preparing for regular third base duty

After reports all winter, it appears that Carlos Santana is gearing up to be the Cleveland Indians usual third baseman in 2014.

Santana shares that the team is primarily planning for him to play third base next season.

According to Rojas’ article, Indians third base coach Mike Sarbaugh has visited Santana down in the Dominican.

Audo Vicente, the team’s manager and a coach in the Diamondbacks organization, said Santana’s progress has been very impressive and if he keeps it up, he could become one of MLB’s better third baseman within two or three years.

Initially, the idea appeared to be a long-shot and hardly any fans expected Santana to actually play any meaningful MLB action at third base.
