"I'll just come here and play my best baseball," Rivas said. "Whether it's third base, shortstop or wherever, I'm going to work hard to do whatever they want."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

For being a natural shortstop, he's played a grand total of 40 games there in his career, with 8 errors in those 40 games.
He should be challenging Gathright, if anyone, for his roster spot, by the way.
