Angels give Luis Jimenez work at first base

MLB.com reported the Angels have been giving third baseman Luis Jimenez work at first base in order to give him more versatility as he battles for a roster spot, with Jimenez playing seven innings at first this spring.

"I can't say I feel comfortable," Jimenez, told MLB.com "I'm just trying to do the best I can because I'm not familiar with first base. But little by little, I can get it. I just have to keep working."

He is blocked on the Angels' depth chart by Alberto Callaspo, who signed a two-year deal this offseason, and the Angels also have top prospect Kaleb Cowart at third base, long term.

Jimenez has hit .308/.424/.462 in 33 plate appearances this spring.
