According to Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily. com, Blake Swihart of the Boston Red Sox could be an option at second base in 2018. Writer's Analysis: Once thought of as the franchise catcher Swihart has been moved around the diamond for two straight years. He has been used at catcher, left field, first base, and now second base. He's coming off a big Winter League performance and could be an option to fill in for Dustin Pedroia for however long he's sidelined.
