You’ve probably already seen the pictures by now. Kristian Campbell, heretofore the Red Sox second baseman, working on some first base drills before last night’s game against the Braves:
I wouldn’t say that Campbell looks ugly out there at second, but advanced metrics see him as a pretty poor fielder so far, which should’ve been expected given that he was moved all over the diamond in what was essentially his only year of professional baseball in 2024. Flexibility is never a bad thing, and this could facilitate the promotion of Marcelo Mayer.
