Goedert's transition to OF going well: Indians minor leaguer Jared Goedert is back with Triple-A Columbus after opening the year with Double-A Akron. The Columbus Dispatch reports the Indians approached Goedert in spring training about opening the year in Double-A because they wanted to transition him from an infielder to an outfielder. "I welcomed it," Goedert said of his move to the outfield. “I said ‘absolutely,’ because I knew we had a lot of corner (infield) guys. I did a lot of early work and extra work in spring training. I’m feeling more and more comfortable out there. I have areas where I can improve, obviously, but I feel comfortable enough to say I’m an outfielder.” (Updated 05/24/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
On top of being able to play both corner infield spots, Goedert can now also play both corner outfield spots. His ability to play multiple positions could help get him to the majors. Also, his offense this season has really blossomed. Goedert hit .395 with a .476 OBP, .613 slugging percentage and 1.089 OPS in 35 games at Akron. He has thus far hit safely in all four of his games with Columbus, batting .333 with one homer and five RBI. If Goedert keeps this up, then he might see the majors later this summer. Goedert has shown good pop in the past in the minors. He's still not worth adding in Fantasy, but AL-only owners might want to put Goedert on their radar. (Updated 05/24/2012).
