Player Notes
| Asuaje, who can play second base, third base and the outfield among other positions, spent the 2015 season at Portland (Double-A/Red Sox) where he hit .251 with eight homers, 61 RBIs and nine steals along with 23 doubles and seven triples to help comprise his 172 hits. He had his career season (so far!) in his first full season, 2014, when he split the summer between two A-level spots, Greenville (Class A) and Salem (High-A), combining to hit .310 with 15 homers and 101 RBIs with 149 hits, 38 doubles, 12 triples and a .533 SLG, not bad for a guy who tips the height chart at 5-foot-9 and weighs just 160 pounds. |
