All prior reports (WEEI, BP) have Vitek, a lifelong infielder staying in the infield, either at 3B or 2B.  Where are you getting that he's moving to the OF?

Maybe I jumped the gun on that. But I’ve yet to talk to a scout who thought he could realistically stay in the infield and that he was best suited for center field.
