Walker gets his first two innings under his belt, which is a good sign.

At what point does Eduardo Sosa not hitting this spring (now .150) become a concern, given that I don't think he was a slam dunk in the first place for the roster.

[BelmontShore]

Welp. That escalated quickly.

Oops. Lol.

[Christopher]

Big grand slam for Sosa. He's probably safe because the guys who might be betters hitters (Wilson, Kingery) don't have the same positional fit/positional flexibility that he does.

[BelmontShore]

Just teasing you, brother.

He's been trying to do too much.

He needed to have some success to settle down. He is capable of big, timely hits and his glove is an asset.
