Gregorio Petit makes first impact of the 2015 season
by Chris Zolli | Wed, Apr 22nd 10:43pm EDT
Gregorio Petit got on base three times against the Tigers on Wednesday night, posting his first extra base hit of the season and first multi RBI game of 2015. Petit had three RBI against the TIgers and walked twice to go with his bases clearing double in the first. Petit finished 1-for-2 against the Tigers on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
This was the 11th appearance in 15 games this season for Petit. He had a .287 batting average in 97 at bats of 2014, so there is a chance that Petit can turn it around and his .261 OBP in 23 plate appearances is comparable to starting 2B Stephen Drew's .286 OBP. Drew does have five extra base hits, including four home runs, so he should not get the starting 2B job from Drew, but Petit should worry about Jose Pirela returning from his concussion issues. Petit was added after Pirela was hurt and Pirela's 1.063 OPS in Spring Training should signal a roster spot for him when he returns to the team.
