6 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce broke an 0-for-11 spring training streak in a strong way by mashing two home runs in a 4-4 tie with the Tigers on Thursday. Despite his 2018 postseason heroics, today's showing is a direct example of what to expect from Pearce. Periods of ineffectiveness at the plate are followed by big games like today, keeping the needle moving in his direction ever so slightly. While the soon-to-be 36-year-old is likely to platoon again with Mitch Moreland at first base, his streaky outbursts at the plate make him a late-round option in AL-only formats.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller
