Garin Cecchini showed some hitting potential with a brief 31 at-bat visit to the Red Sox in 2014. The average in that small sample was .253, but the swing was nice.  I actually had visions of Alex Gordon when I saw the left-handed hitting Cecchini at Boston and Pawtucket. That never materialized.

Cecchini moved around for Boston as they attempted to open up a position other than third base. Versatility often translates into opportunity, but that has not worked well for Cecchini who has played third, first base and the outfield. . Cecchini is now with the Royals Triple-A team in Omaha playing third base.

At 26-years-old Cecchini still has an opportunity to make it back, but based on what has transpired the last three seasons that is doubtful.
