7 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder and occasional second baseman Chris Taylor will start at shortstop if Corey Seager (elbow) isn't ready in time for the regular season. Seager, who has been nursing a sore elbow all year, is slated to start his first game at short on Monday versus minor leaguers and will see his first Cactus League start the following Wednesday. But his elbow problem developed last August and surgery was an offseason consideration, so the backup plan is to have Taylor fill in for Seager. He's been taking repetitions at short this spring and considers himself a natural shortstop. Taylor had a breakout 2017 campaign, so if he posts similar numbers this year, he'll be a top-10 shortstop.--Mario Hernandez - RotoBaller
