Interesting Comment From Hendry (Cedeno at 2B)

[USSoccer]

During tonight's broadcast, Hendry was talking about moving Ronny Cedeno to 2B, and he discussed the how they worked Ronny out at 2B over the winter. He cited the pursuit of Furcal and the "trade talks for Tejada" as reasons for this.

 

I found that interesting, because I cannot recall Hendry ever publicly admitting he had discussions regarding Tejada.

That's weird, I just saw the CSN report where Mitch Whatshisname talked to Cedeno and said that Cedeno said he had never played second before. Could be semantics between game situation and "working out" though.

Yeah, Cedeno must have been thinking of actual game situations. I doubt that Hendry would lie on a live broadcast.

I actually like the move to 2b for Cedeno. For some reason it's look like to me that Cedeno would often take his OFFENSE to the defense, and his DEFENSE to his offense. IMO, by moving him to SS, I think we might, i said MIGHT, see a more relax Cedeno, and perhaps a more confident Cedeno, knowing he could play a easier position.

Certainly an interesting hypothesis. And one I've never thought of before. :)

I was thinking there had been talk of it but that he ended up not playing there.

there was definitly talk. maybe Ronny was saying he had never played 2b at the MLB level.

Here's the thread UBlink put together in the Minor Leagues Forum to track Cedeno's Venezualan Winter League play. (Regular Link)

 

He didn't play 2B in any of the official games.
