Diamondbacks Plan to Try Blaze Alexander in Center Field
Blaze Alexander will be moved "around the field" and the team is going to "try Blaze in center field a little bit from time to time," per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com. Alexander had been playing third base since the trade deadline, but Arizona recalled top prospect Jordan Lawlar on Friday, and Lawlar will be used on the left side of the infield. Alexander has exclusively played the infield in 110 career games at the big-league level, but it appears the team believes he can handle a true super-utility role. The 26-year-old is slashing .234/.331/.441 with seven home runs, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 168 plate appearances this season. As he gains additional positional versatility, Alexander could be a useful depth piece in deep fantasy leagues.
