Just how important is Eduardo Nunez? With the ongoing recovery of Dustin Pedroia that is a very easy question – probably would not even make the cut on Jeopardy. In 2017. Nunez was a spark, igniter, and some other choice positives to describe his impact on a Boston Red Sox team that seemed as motivated as a sleepwalker.
Filling in for Pedroia was a key as Nunez had 25 starts at second base for the bulk of his 38 Boston games. If you wish upscale defensive work than think Deven Marrero as Nunez can best be classified as acceptable, ordinary, passable all depending on your point of view.
