NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Don't include Jason Kipnis among the outfield options for the Indians.
Not yet, at least.
"Not at this point, it's not something we're considering," Tribe president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said Monday.
Kipnis, an outfielder in college at Arizona State, last manned an outfield position in 2009. That year, he appeared in seven games in center field and 18 contests in left for Low-A Mahoning Valley. Second base has served as his residence ever since.
The Indians, though, are desperate for outfield assistance and have Jose Ramirez as another option at second base Larry Doby Jersey. If the 2016 season began today, some trio from the group of Lonnie Chisenhall, Abraham Almonte, Collin Cowgill, Shane Robinson, Michael Choice and Joey Butler would likely start in the outfield.
Kipnis would start at his regular position.
"That transition from being in the infield and the outfield and bouncing back and forth is a lot easier said than done," Antonetti said.
Kipnis did spend time on the disabled list over the summer with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. He is partaking in a program this winter to enhance the strength and durability in his shoulder Jason Kipnis Jersey.
