Pablo Sandoval looks good in spring training so far. I like that John Farrell isn’t getting too excited about it yet:
For manager John Farrell, it’s too early to make judgments on Sandoval’s swing.
“Just a couple fastballs out over the plate,” Farrell said. “He’s got the ability to hit the ball to all fields, as we saw today. Equal to the two line drives to the left side, I thought it was a good solid aggressive swing from the right side of the plate. He just looks more aggressive, more free, and more than anything, he just looks and feels more confident, not just from the at-bats but his overall game.”
If the Red Sox can get the 2013 Sandoval back, or even the 2014 version, he’ll give the club a decent boost.
Sandoval strikes me as someone whose age was off. His career makes a lot more sense if he were two years older than stated. This used to be common, but with tougher immigration rules, it’s been tougher for foreign players to change their age.
