Thirty-seven rows up in the right-field bleachers at Fenway Park is a target calling out to all Boston Red Sox hitters. Ted Williams lays claim to that feat, blasting a home run 502 feet in June of 1946 that has been forever immortalized. It would be a dream for a Red Sox player, or any opponent for that matter, to hit a ball that far at Fenway. Triston Casas became the latest Red Sox player to believe reaching the famed red seat was impossible.
The Boston Red Sox expected to pencil in Trevor Story at shortstop on a near-everyday basis this season. Story is out for the season after having surgery on his injured shoulder, leaving the Red Sox with a gaping hole in the middle of their infield. Red Sox manager Alex Cora has primarily used Triple-A call-up David Hamilton in Story's absence, but that move hasn't yielded much success. Former Red Sox third baseman and current NESN analyst Will Middlebrooks sees a different solution to Boston's shortstop conundrum that he would pull the trigger on if he was in Cora's shoes.
