With every Brock Stassi dinger, general manager Matt Klentak’s job gets just a little bit harder.
Yeah, Stassi went deep again on Monday, his 4th of the spring, the team leader in homers. After their game against the Baltimore Orioles, the left-handed first baseman/outfielder was hitting .407/.484/.889 with an OPS of 1.373. All those numbers were team highs.
All things being equal, with the normal caveats that spring stats largely don’t matter, Stassi’s spring would be more than enough to earn him one of the two bench spots up for grabs on the 25-man roster.
