Red Sox Slump: Abreu's Bat Sparks Hope

0:00On April 7th, the Boston Red Sox are sitting dead last in the standings with just two wins and eight losses. The worst mark in Major League Baseball and a brutal minus 17 run differential to start the year. They drop five spots to 12 in this week's power rankings, one of the biggest slides around after getting swept in three straight series right. Out the gate. Folks are scratching their heads because the team looks that bad early on, but analysts are holding out hope like Chief Baseball Officer Craig. Breast low, betting on a rebound down the line. Outfielder Willier-Abreu is stepping up big as the early standout, crushing three home runs and handling left handed pitchers well with three hits in. Seven at bats, including two doubles. His teammates are starting to wake up offensively too, which could ease the load and spark their breakout the socks need to climb out of his hole.
