Jackson Holliday To See Time At Second Base This Spring
10 months agoBaltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said on the radio on Tuesday that shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday, the consensus top prospect in baseball this year, will see "a lot" of action at second base in spring training. "I see some additional playing time for a left-handed hitter at second base," Elias said. The GM also said the team wants to keep Holliday "warm" at shortstop as well. The 20-year-old will be at big-league spring training and has a legitimate shot to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster, although the O's aren't going to push him. Jordan Westburg is projected to be the team's primary option at the keystone to begin the 2024 campaign, but Holliday will get plenty of action there in camp as he competes for a spot. Even in single-year fantasy leagues, Holliday should be stashed since he's fully expected to make his major-league debut sooner than later this season.
