Chase Meidroth was a name that started popping up with the Red Sox faithful when injuries began to pile up for Boston in the second half of this season. There was a good reason for that. When it was apparent Rafael Devers was dealing with some big-time shoulder issues and the team was still in the playoff race, they needed someone to handle the hot corner should Devers be unable to avoid the IL. Meidroth probably would have been the guy called up to do that. He spent all last season in Worcester, hitting .293 with a .437 OBP, .838 OPS, and a .332 BABIP. Meidroth isn’t a power hitter and probably doesn’t profile as a third-baseman in the majors, but he has the type of swing to play the gaps in the outfield. Unfortunately, there is very little speed behind those hits. He wouldn’t be able to turn a single into a double on many occasions, but he can get on base, and that’s what’s important.
