SS Cristian Guzman will work out at second base next spring, general manager Mike Rizzo said. The 31-year-old, who is scheduled to make $8 million in the final year of his contract in 2010, was cool to the idea last fall after regressing defensively during the 2009 season, but the team appears ready to move Guzman and give Ian Desmond a shot to be the full-time shortstop. Rizzo said Guzman is recovering "comfortably" from right shoulder surgery and should be 100 percent by spring training. |

Guzman (shoulder) has been told to prepare for spring training as a second baseman, the Washington Post reports. Recommendation: It looks like the Nationals may give Ian Desmond a chance to win the starting shortstop job. Or the Nationals are worried about Guzman's throwing arm. Either way, this likely isn't a good development for Guzman's job security. |
