From World Series hero to the unemployment line? That may be where Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce is heading if he doesn’t pull out of his season-long slump.
Pearce has been arguably the biggest disappointment in an underachieving lineup this season. The veteran is slashing a putrid .103/.167/.154 in 39 at-bats this season. You know something is wrong when your batting line gives Sandy Leon bragging rights over you.
The last hit that Pearce recorded was 10 days ago and he’s mired in a 0-for-12 streak in his nine appearances since then.
