Braves star Freddie Freeman plans to move from first base to third base to keep Matt Adams' bat in the Atlanta lineup. Freeman took grounders at third base before batting practice Wednesday and also made throws to first base. Despite not playing at third base since high school, Freeman says "I'm 100 percent go on it. Freeman said he first mentioned the move to third base about two weeks ago and then began thinking more seriously about the move as Adams continued to post big numbers at first base. The only other way to keep Adams' bat in the lineup would be moving him to left field, where he played at times with St. Louis.
