Brock Holt has been the Red Sox utility man for a long time, but not quite to the extent that he was during Saturday's win over the Orioles.
According to Justin Long and Elias Sports, Holt became the first Red Sox player to play second base, first base and shortstop in the same game.
Holt started the game at second but moved to first base after Michael Chavis exited the game with back spasms in the fifth. Then, when the game was out of hand and Xander Bogaerts was subbed out of the game for Sam Travis, Holt moved over to shortstop so Travis could play first.
Holt is used to playing about every position on the field and probably has more gloves than we could ever imagine. Every great team needs someone who can fill in for injured players like Holt, but once the team is at full strength he'll get to go back to his natural position at second base. Of course, it's likely he could split time with Chavis if and when Mitch Moreland makes his way back from injury.
The eight-year veteran has battled with injuries of his own this season, only appearing in 40 games for the Red Sox. However, he's been productive when available, posting a .344/.390/.451 slash line in 122 at-bats.
If the Red Sox are going to turn into the team they're capable of being, getting a steady diet of Brock Holt should go a long way towards them developing some consistency.
