Lefty Bats

Other than Ortiz & Sandoval (switch), the Red Sox are very right-handed in the lineup. I thought it would be interesting to see who else is available in the Red Sox system from the left side. Here's who I found. Daniel Nava. Brock Holt. Jackie Bradley, Jr. Blake Swihart (switch). Garin Cecchini. Travis Shaw. Bryan LaHair. Quintin Berry. Yoan Moncada (switch). There are a few other lesser knowns in the system as well. You would have to think that left-handed bats won't be easily moved by Ben in any upcoming trade, particularly the bat of Swihart. That makes guys like Betts, Craig, Brentz, Marrero & other right-handers very available should the Sox want to send position players with pitching prospects to another team for a #1 starter. It's good to be able to hit left-handed if you are on the Sox roster. A little job security, if there is such a thing.
