Over the last few days, there has been a lot of buzz about speedster David Hamilton. He has been very steady in camp so far and has been more consistent than both Vaughn Grissom and Kristian Campbell.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_cw6mv0d6s\">Alex Bregman would be an easy fit and would end a lot of discussions, but it seems like he&#8217;s going to be playing third base. That hasn&#8217;t been confirmed yet, but he has been playing third base in Spring Training games and hasn&#8217;t been at second base so it&#8217;s just the easy assumption.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_7f8v9vjvc\">While this is the case, things may have started to shift on Monday. Boston has two games on the day. The Red Sox rolled out a lineup that very well be the team&#8217;s starting lineup on Opening Day and interestingly enough had Campbell in the lineup. The Red Sox sent a lineup mainly full of minor leaguers on the road and that lineup featured Hamilton and Grissom.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_vg2uj3dgr\">Campbell got an opportunity with the big league guys on Monday and put on a show. He made a few great plays defensively and finished the day 1-for-3 with a double and also had a walk.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_bzb37cb5g\">Campbell had arguably the best game of Spring Training for him and manager Alex Cora shared he would be back at second base on Tuesday, as shared by MassLive.com&#8217;s Christopher Smith.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_zw3msj1ev\">It seems like the Red Sox want to give Campbell as many chances as possible. Does he have enough time to snatch the job before Opening Day?<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1acyoyjma\"><em><strong>More MLB: <\/strong><\/em>Red Sox Make 3 More Cuts With Roster Crunch Heating Up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things are getting very interesting with the Boston Red Sox right now.
