Moore, the Mariners’ Gold Glove utility man, who has played every position but catcher, uses four: two infield gloves, a first baseman’s mitt and another for the outfield.

“I really don’t think you can take anything from last year and expect it to carry over to the start of the season,” veteran utility man Chris Taylor said.

Instead of being locked into an everyday spot in center, there might be more infield opportunities for the smooth-fielding utility man, who served as the Dodgers’ primary shortstop in last year’s World Series run.

The Saints’ utility man plays tight end, receiver, running back and quarterback — and he’s coming off a career-best performance.

The rare miscue from the sure-handed utility man did not cost the Dodgers, as the next batter, Jazz Chisholm Jr., grounded out to end the inning, and Edman’s evening got progressively better from there.
