Since there have been a lot of questions about who will be the backup at what positions, I asked Dave Trembley today whether Robert Andino would be the guy if the Orioles needed an extended fill-in at shortstop and Ty Wigginton would be the guy if they needed someone to spell Brian Roberts for a significant number of games at second base.
He acted, at first, like it was a stupid question, so I guess it was. He said that Andino would be the guy in either case and also will play some at third base and in the outfield this spring.
Since Wigginton did play eight games at second base last year and has played the position on occasion throughout his career, I kind of figured that would be an out for Trembley to get him some at-bats when Roberts needs a break. Trembley said that he'll find Wigginton enough at-bats spelling the guys at first, third, DH and maybe the outfield.
