"It's a position I'm comfortable with," Edman said Friday, after taking grounders at third at the start of his pregame work. "The hops [there] are weird, so you gotta play a little bit more one-handed ... But it's still the infield. You still gotta work on the footwork, just like you would at second and short. Catching the ball, getting behind your throws. It's a lot of the same concepts."
"The basket's kind of annoying. If the basket isn't there, it's not a homer," said Edman, giving chase from center field. "Just kind of a weird quirk of the ballpark. I thought I had a fairly good bead on it. Unfortunately it barely made it out."
