JOC PEDERSON NEWS

Getting look at first base Pederson will get some time at first base during spring training, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Pederson is projected to fill at least a strong-side platoon role in the outfield, but picking up time at first base could help him get into the lineup more. For now, the lefty-hitting LaMonte Wade and righties Wilmer Flores and J.D. Davis figure to get the bulk of the playing time at first. Pederson slashed .274/.353/.521 with 23 home runs and 70 RBI in 134 contests last season.
