Some sneaky opposite field power there.

Seems like a stockier Holt, with a better swing.

His build reminds me of a certain 2nd baseman playing for Astros.

I think that one would have been in or over the the visitors bullpen at Fenway. The name of the team is Venados de Mazatlan or The Mazatlan Stags

Not crazy about chubby ball players but this guy looks he can hit and is cheap.

After reading the Mass Live story I still believe the Red Sox have a player that can contribute this year. With the Eduardo Nunez signing it puts the rest the hope of Quiroz breaking camp with the big team if he had a good spring. Quiroz tells a story how we met AL MVP Jose Altuve in the World Baseball Classic last spring about how he succeeded in the big leagues was an inspiration to Quiroz. The 2nd baseman speaks how fellow Mexican League player Hector Velazquez has helped him during spring training and transition to playing a new country. The story is a good read

Quiroz in the batting cage on Friday . It's nice to be getting some news and video out of spring training.

FINALLY! Esteban Quiroz playing in a live game on television. Quiroz was 0-1 with a walk a run scored and 4 defensive plays three were routine and one diving play to his left and a good throw to finish the play. All and all I know its the first spring training game but to finallly see him live rather than on video from 2 years ago it was a good thing.

Quiroz did not look good defensively today. The off-balance throw he made went wide the first base by at least 4-5 feet. Then in his at bat he looked anxious and popped up. I know that it's early.

Hadn't been mentioned since the resident Quiroz stan got banned, but Quiroz exclusively played 2B while he was in MLB camp, so it seems clear they don't plan on moving him around as some had wondered.

Are the Mexican leagues are seen as AAA-level? If so, that 0.853 OPS actually looks pretty good. He’s not young at 25, but that’s a serviceable MLB equivalent in the .750-.775 range I’d think.

I was unimpressed with Quiroz. Seems to have a big hole in his swing.
