With Brock at 2B day-to-day (sic) and Nunez 3B dinged up from the rundown play at the plate, did I read somewhere that Swihart, along with being a potential fill-in in LF, has played some 3B?
After watching J.D. make some nice catches in RF tonight, particularly the catch he made running face first into the wall, it got me to thinking. After this weekend, the Sox play 3 games against the cellar-dweller Orioles who are having a fire sale and no one knows who they'll have available on the field. Now might be the ideal time for a bit of a shakeup to give those dinged up a chance to fully recover. And against the lowly Orioles, what could possibly go wrong?
