Andres Gimenez Opening Day shortstop?

Andres Gimenez the starting shortstop in Cleveland? That possibility seems to be closer to becoming a reality as Spring Training continues. Manager Terry Francona commented on why the team has experimented with moving Amed Rosario.

Terry Francona wouldn't specifically say Andrés Giménez is the Opening Day shortstop, but he all but confirmed as much.

"Part of the reason we felt comfortable enough to move Amed [Rosario] is because of what we see in Giménez. … This kid is a really bright spot for us."

Once the news of the team moving Rosario around became known, it seemed almost inevitable that Andres Gimenez would take the shortstop gig and run with it. Barring some unforeseen changes it appears the Cleveland Baseball Club will have their new starting shortstop for the foreseeable future.
