By the time the shortstop reached the ball and looked up, Herbert had almost reached first base.

The team could shift Tommy Edman, who saw most of his action this October at shortstop, to an everyday role in center field.

Adames brings uncommon power for a shortstop and also uncommon swing and miss — he’s struck out more than 150 times in five seasons.
