Marlins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fresh off winning the National League Rookie of the Year award, left fielder Chris Coghlan is setting his sights on another possible challenge in 2010—switching to second base.

There are strong indications the Marlins will trade second baseman Dan Uggla, who could make $8 million in arbitration. If that happens, Coghlan said he wouldn't mind moving back to second base, which is where he played in the minor leagues.

"Hopefully we can retain Danny, but you never know," Coghlan said. "If there is a change, I think that's something I would like to be looked at or in consideration to move back."

Coghlan made his big-league debut in left field in May after playing all but one game in the minors at second base.

"It wasn't an easy transition," Coghlan said.

The Florida Marlins are big on players who outperform their contract, which is why outfielder Jeremy Hermida is bound for Boston.
