Athletics general manager Billy Beane said new acquisition Miles Head will be moved from first to third base.
Acquired in the Andrew Bailey trade, Head, 20, played nine games at the hot corner in 2009 back in Rookie Ball but was quickly moved to first base for his first full season and remained there until now. The owner of a .274/.351/.446 career batting line in 204 minor league games, Head could begin the season at Double-A but is a ways away from contributing for the A’s.
