Luke Scott told the Baltimore Sun that he would prefer to see some time in the field this season.
"Absolutely, I want to be able to play defense," said Scott. "If it were up to me, I'd DH two or three times a week and play in the field wherever they needed me. That would be optimal. I'd be off my feet some and stay fresher longer. I'd play left field and first base and DH. That'd be great." Scott, 31, avoided arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.05 million contract. With Nolan Reimold and Felix Pie getting most of the playing time in left field and Garrett Atkins expected to play first base, Scott should be the team's primary designated hitter this season. |
