Kristian Campbell Will Compete For Starting Job At Second Base
32 seconds agoAccording to Ian Browne of MLB.com, Boston Red Sox prospect Kristian Campbell will be in the mix to compete for the starting second base job at spring training. Browne noted that Vaughn Grissom will likely be the other option. Grissom was given the starting job last summer but battled numerous injuries and logged only 31 games all season. He posted a disappointing .190/.246/.219 line. Campbell was recently tabbed as MLB Pipeline's top second base prospect entering the 2025 season. Last summer, Campbell spent most of his time at Double-A, where he held an impressive .362/.463/.582 line with eight home runs and 17 stole bases across 56 games. He was given a brief look at Triple-A and continued to perform as he posted a .286/.412/.486 line through 19 games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their progress during spring training, but Campbell is worth a look as a late flier in early drafts, as he could run away with the starting job, given his development last summer.
