Nice analysis, and a wise warning to take ST numbers with a grain of salt. Barring injuries or a trade, Chavis seems likely to split this season between Boston and Worcester. He has options left, unlike the other Sox backup infielders, and he can’t play SS. He has big power, of course, and if he makes adjustments to close the holes in his swing he could force the Sox to think differently about him. As it is, he’s probably Plan B if Dalbec struggles.
I remain hopeful, and a good spring is better than a bad spring, but I think that's right, Walt. He'll likely spend part of the year in Worcester, a bigger part if he struggles.
