Iggy vying for the clean up spot.
The shame of it for him last season is that I think he sort of choked on his first real extended stay with the big club. Remy is right, when he takes his usual swing he does have a real swing...but for most of his time here last time around he had adopted that slap swing and it was just terrible....dribblers just past the pitcher's mound all day long. We did not see him take full swings until very late in his stay here. I really do think that was a consequence of Iggy choking on his first real extended period of play here.
I think you can see that he has a more compact swing compared to end of last year. That is supposed to be the hope at this point...shortening his swing in the hope that he will generate more bat speed.
Wow...that must have been a hit and run effort....too late a brake by Bradley to be straight steal.
Earned more respect for Iggy in one day than I had for him all last year...now while that sounds like hyperbole, he stuck his knee down in front of the runner coming in at 2nd and took the full force of the slide as a result...not too bright but very tough and muscled up for that HR......first time I have seen anything that suggests to me he might be a SS that the Sox might actually like as opposed to one they just give up on and finally trade away. Iggy has to get farther inside the scope of what the Red Sox consider important for their SS....not necessarily the same things for the Sox as for other clubs.
JBJ is supposed to be very fast. I cannot fathom him breaking that late on a straight steal.
Iggy hits a dinger.
