Infante’s slow recovery allowed Christian Colon a clear field to show what he could do. However, Colon responded by slashing a horrendous .000/.190/.000 slash line in eight games and 17 at bats.
Christian Colon picked a horrible time to go 0-fer.
Fortunately for Colon, Infante is also hitless in two games since making his spring debut March 9. Even so, the 34-year-old Infante holds the advantage of a long track record as a major league starter and the front office’s reluctance to pay $17 million in guaranteed money to a bench warmer over the next two seasons.
