Sam Travis To Expand Versatility
7 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Sam Travis is likely to have his positional eligibility expand, according to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald. The Red Sox are looking for Travis to play some corner outfield later this spring. Travis does not fit the mold of the traditional first baseman ,as he lacks power. Also, another issue that might prevent him from getting consistent playing time are his lefty/righty splits. He has a .340 slugging percentage against right-handers and a .508 slugging percentage against left-handers. Currently, Travis is not worth drafting in any league.
