FORT MYERS — Marco Hernandez might be playing himself out of Boston.
He’s been too good this spring.
Hernandez, who has almost no chance at making the Red Sox roster out of camp because he hits left-handed and the team needs a right-handed complement to Pablo Sandoval at third base, connected on two triples yesterday to push his Grapefruit League average to .405 with a 1.218 OPS. If he keeps playing this well, the Sox may be able to use him as a trade chip should they develop any additional roster needs early in the season (it appears like that need could eventually be starting pitching).
