Jose Iglesias takes Hadlock Headlines Player of the Week for week ending May 16th. While Jose slowed at the plate at the end of the week, his opening run of 7-9 in the first two games of the week proved to be the difference.
Offense was not the only reason for the win, as Jose made spectacular play after spectacular play this week.
Highlight of the week by far was Tuesday when Binghamton power hitter Zach Lutz came to the plate. Lutz scorched a ball to the hole that looked like both Yamaico Navarro and Iglesias would miss. Somehow Navarro got the tip of his glove on the ball, changing its directon. Iglesias strecthed, got the ball, twirled and in one motion fired a strike to Nate Spears at 2nd for the force out. The press box all said "WOW" and looked at each other as if to say..did we see that?
Red Sox fans need to remember this is a 20 year old kid who needs some grooming. This is his first venture into pro baseball, so Jose has a long road. If early returns are any indications, Jose will make Sox fans forget the revolving door at shortstop over the last 6 seasons. Please don't missing seeing this special kid, get to Hadlock!
