Abrams Shifts to Second Base | Washington Nationals News

CJ Abrams is being moved from shortstop to second base by the Washington Nationals — a bold shift for a player who’s spent over 600 games at short and only a handful at second. While he’s been a standout hitter, his defensive struggles at short have made this change necessary to optimize both lineup and defense. With the team at 60-66 and seven games behind a wild card spot, this move could be pivotal as they face the Rangers in a crucial stretch. Can Abrams thrive in his new role — or is this a last-ditch effort to salvage the season? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
