Vargas has been moved from third base to second base and now left field during his career, but he accepts that as the price he has to pay to get major-league playing time.
The Dodgers’ Miguel Vargas has played several different positions over the past two seasons as the team looks for the best way to get his bat into the lineup. DETROIT — For a 24-year-old with limited time in the major leagues, Miguel Vargas has already lived a lot of lives.
In another lifetime, he was the Dodgers’ every-day second baseman. That life ended at the All-Star break last year. “They’re trying to give me a place, any opportunity, any position,” Vargas said, looking on the bright side of all the moves. “I’m glad to have that type of versatility because the Dodgers if you see they’ve got four or five guys that can do that. To me it’s a good thing.”“It’s been a challenge,” Roberts said. “I think the hard thing with Vargy is the bat is obviously natural. It’s always played outside of the early part of last year with us.
