Indians first baseman Carlos Santana is hoping playing one position will help with his consistency this season, according to MLB.com.

"This year, I feel so great, because I only play one position, first base," Santana said. "We'll see what happens this year. I'm working hard every day and I'll try to do my best for the team." Santana got off to a poor start to open the year, hitting .207 in the first half. 

Manager Terry Francona said he believes Santana got frustrated by the positional change last year. "He started out miserable hitting and then moving positions, I think he got frustrated," Francona said. "And, I think when you're hitting .150, you get frustrated quicker."

Santana believes he'll be able to carry over his strong second half into this season. "By the second half, I was up and I finished strong," he said. "It's very important for me to try to do the same thing all year."

Santana hit .231/.365/.427 over 541 at-bats last year.
