Arlington, Texas: When you are new at work and you do not know how everything works, sometimes you say – or question, the evil and embarrasses – a little.
This applies to Kristian Campbell, who learned that he had done the Red sox“The opening of the opening day a few days ago. Then, reflecting its naivety, he asked a question that reflected his inexperience.
“He is still learning,” Alex Cora said. “He will get angry with me (to share), but I don’t care … When we arrived at the Hotel in Mexico, he asked who his roommate was. So yesterday, during the section, everyone asked,” Who is your roommate? “,
Players in the Major League have not had roommates since the 1980’s, although they are still common for minor rooms. In the big leagues. However, where Campbell now resides, each player has his own hotel room on the road.
Campbell was on the line of the opening day in the second base, Where you will get most of your play time. But Cora said that Campbell will also have opportunities in the outside field.
“He’s going to play,” Cora said. “There are a lot of bulls for everyone. We just made sure (not overwhelmed). We want you to do the things you did last year until the preparation, here in the big leagues. Do it as comfortable as possible.”
Basket, Craig Breslow, said that there was not a single moment in the spring formation that convinced the Red Sox that Campbell was ready for the next step.
“ I think it’s easy to catch -Breslow, ” but try to take advantage of the whole work body. This is a really talented guy and there will be some challenges. But during the last week at ten days or so, we saw him a little more comfortable in the box. I think we saw what he is able to do.
“He hit the ball on the other side, using all the fields and maybe things start to slow down a little. That said, the opening day brings a new level of intensity and a focus. But we are optimistic that it will settle and will be a very valuable player for us.”
Campbell acknowledged that he experienced a little excitement when he entered the visitor’s club house on Thursday morning and saw a sweater with his name and his number hanging at the stop in his closet.
“He definitely does it (he feels real),” Campbell said. “I’m really excited to debut today. It’s a good stage and I’m really excited for it. It feels very good.”
Campbell had his parents, his brother, his sister and his girlfriend were in his hand at the Globe Life Field.
Some teammates advised him to be himself and take all the places of interest and the sounds of the Thursday’s game.
“You just debuted once,” he said.
Campbell fought for the first two weeks of the Pomelo League game, registering only once in his first 15 bat-bull when the attacks accumulated. But before time, it began to have better bat.
“It was a matter of seeing more launches,” he explained. “This was the most important thing for me. This is not the first time I started slow in spring. So see more launches, keep as simple as possible and keep me safe. (I had to remember -me)” You know that you will hit; It’s just a matter of time. “It was great for me, so you just had to keep it on the back of the head.”
Noting that he had been “waiting for all my life for this moment,” Campbell said that his destination was not determined by anything in March.
“It’s not really about the last six weeks,” he said. “This is more of the last 15 years.”
