Now THIS is breaking news...

According to both local papers, when Hank Blalock comes off the disabled list (possibly next weekend in Cleveland), he'll do so as a first baseman.

Blalock reportedly volunteered to make the move, believing it will be best for the team.

In 10 pro seasons, Blalock (whose work at the new position got underway this morning in extended spring training) has never appeared at first base. His only defensive appearances at a position other than third came in 2002, when he played second base four times for Oklahoma, and in 2003, when he played second four times for Texas.
