Jonathan Herrera |
In 2013, Herrera hit .292 with 1 home run and 16 runs batted in while only appearing at the plate 215 times. Herrera spent some time at short stop(42 games), second base(22 games), third base(5 games) and left field(2 games) last season. The Red Sox will be Herrera's second team.
The Red Sox have lefties Andrew Miller, Craig Breslow and Drake Britton whom are all expected to play a significant role in their bullpen.
The addition of lefty, Franklin Morales, will give the Rockies some lefty depth out of the bullpen or even as a starter. The Rockies added LHP Boone Logan earlier in the off season to really be their lefty specialist out of the pen in 2014. Morales was with the Rockies from 2007-part of 2011; so this will be his second stint with the Rockies.
In 2013, Morales 2-2 with a 4.62 ERA. Morales walked a wooping 15 batters in 25.1 innings pitched. The struggles to find the plate were not the only damper on Morales's season.
Morales missed signlificant time with a strained left pectoral(occured on 6/22/13) and a strained lower back(occured on 3/22/13).
