Valbuena will see the majority of his at-bats at first base, and will fill in occasionally throughout the infield Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena is expected to be in a platoon role this season for the Angels. General manager Billy Eppler stated the 31-year-old will get most at-bats at first base against right-handers, but he'll also fill in at third on occasion and at second in case of an emergency. Eppler went on to say "he'll be in that lineup very regularly" and "pretty much the entire time against a right-handed pitcher". As Albert Pujols continues to recover from a foot injury look for Valbuena to see ample opportunities at first base during spring training, especially with C.J. Cron out of the mix.
