Red Sox may call up unknown speedster as playoff pinch-runner
Original: Unknown speedster could make MLB debut for Red Sox in playoffs ... to do 1 thing only
The Boston Red Sox could give a little-known speedster his MLB debut during the playoffs, with the expectation that he would fill a single, specialised role: providing late-game speed, most likely as a pinch-runner. The possibility has drawn attention because playoff rosters often reward one-dimensional skills, and the player has yet to appear in a regular-season major league game.
Why now: Playoff roster construction stories generate buzz, and the idea of a debut solely for speed is unusual and discussion-worthy.
