Rockies prospects Cristhian Adames and Rafael Ynoa know their odds aren't great to make the Opening Day roster, but are taking advantage of the extra playing time this spring, reports MLB.com.
Adames, who primarily plays shortstop, has received work at every position in the infield this year after hitting .353 in the Dominican Winter League.
"I worked to hit the ball the other way, every time, and I played all three positions -- third, second, short," said Adames. "I worked in the Dominican on my running, and it's helped me with my defense."
Ynoa is just glad to have the opportunity to play in the majors at some point this year.
"Most of my teammates got called up, and I was frustrated -- it's tough when you see you are part of a winning team, playing every day and putting your effort in and you're still stuck in the same spot," Ynoa said. "I went to the Fall League and every year I was an everyday player. But that's life. Nothing is easy.
