Gordon Beckham's main goal this spring training is to win the White Sox's starting second baseman position.
But for now, the White Sox are planning to use him at multiple positions in the infield during Cactus League play, according to MLB.com. This is somewhat new for Beckham, as he played second base during his first five-plus Major League seasons with the White Sox.
Though Beckham is looking to earn the starting job at second base, he seems to be enjoying playing multiple spots so far.
"I'm actually kind of enjoying running around," Beckham said. "I like popping around the infield. I know the coaches and the people making the decisions know I can play second base and know I can play it well. There has been an emphasis on them just telling me to get some work in other places."
Beckham actually played shortstop in college at the University of Georgia and played that position, as well as third base, after the White Sox traded him to the Angels. He was brought back to Chicago on a one-year deal.
Beckham hit a single-season worse .226 for both the Angels and White Sox a season ago.
