JUPITER, Fla. — It’s going to be fun to watch Jazz Chisholm bring a pro’s focus to the plate this year and a blueberry-ice-cream glove to the field. Or maybe a veteran’s craftiness in dropping a bunt and a strawberry glove with sprinkles to second base?
Here’s the contest within the contest for Chisholm, the one you have to hope he wins for the fun-of-baseball’s sake: Can you be a year older and wiser but just as fun and flashy?
Chisholm, to that end, has worked on bunting this spring. He was just talking at his locker with the former master-bunter, Juan Pierre, after he tried to lay one down in the final spring game against the St. Louis Cardinal’s nine-time, Gold Glove winner Nolan Arenado at third base.
