Daily News | Phillies’ Joe Girardi: Third base ‘not etched in stone’ for Alec Bohm
Jose F. Moreno/ Staff PhotographerBRADENTON, Fla. — Nick Castellanos hasn’t played third base in a game since 2017. But there he was, after his introductory news conference Wednesday, taking grounders from Phillies infield coach Bobby Dickerson.
Maybe so. But even if it didn’t say much about Castellanos’ expected outfield/DH role with the Phillies, it spoke volumes about Alec Bohm’s status at third base. And Girardi conceded Thursday that Bohm has not yet taken hold of the job with two weeks until opening day. All the usual caveats apply about spring training stats, but Bohm is 1-for-11 with one walk in four games. He has worked diligently with Dickerson to improve his defense, but it’s Bohm’s bat that will keep him in the lineup every day.
Another third-base possibility: surehanded Johan Camargo. The Phillies signed the 28-year-old switch-hitter to a one-year, $1.4 million contract before the lockout. He 19 homers in 2008 for the Atlanta Braves but got displaced first by Josh Donaldson and later Austin Riley.
