Position Player Playing Time Changes: March 14, 2025
Below are the latest playing time changes (in plate appearances) for position players since Wednesday. Kristian Campbell might be an even bigger factor this year than we thought!
Position Player Projected PA Changes, 3/12 to 3/14
| Name | Team | Positions | Old PA | New PA | PA Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Victor Scott II | STL | CF | 294 | 434 | 140 | Having a fabulous camp, earning himself starting CF over Siani |
| Drew Avans | ATH | RF | 14 | 84 | 70 | Quietly solid camp; might be better to give Esteury regular time in AAA |
| Kristian Campbell | BOS | 2B, LF, DH | 238 | 308 | 70 | Turning heads after a slow start; Devers DHing more would open up 2B time. Might not be Opening Day, but soon! |
| Masataka Yoshida | BOS | DH, LF | 399 | 329 | -70 | Devers DHing more would take away playing time; still hasn’t played OF this Spring |
| Michael Siani | STL | CF, RF, LF | 259 | 175 | -84 | Nightmarish camp that’s the opposite of Scott’s; can be optioned but still has value off bench for defense |
| Jeff McNeil | NYM | DH, 3B, 1B, 2B, LF | 518 | 427 | -91 | Oblique strain; unlikely to be back in MLB until late April at best |
| Joey Gallo | CHW | LF, 1B, RF, DH | 168 | 63 | -105 | Striking out over 50% of the time in Spring Training; Jankowski MiLB deal pushes him off projected roster |

I really want Campbell to be the OD second baseman. Grissom sucks and Bregman isn’t playing there, so why not?
I’m sure the Red Sox will take that under advisement, Butthole.
