BROCK HOLT RUMORS & GOSSIP
Red Sox To Designate Holt For Assignment
Can you literally already close the book on the Joel Hanrahan trade? Mark Melancon has already been the superior pitcher. Stolmy Pimentel is smoking AA and now it’s being reported that the Red Sox are going to DFA Brock Holt to bring up a reliever to replace the injured Hanrahan. Looks like Brock Holt may…
Roster Watch: Joel Hanrahan and Brock Holt
Well this one should be pretty easy. Joel Hanrahan and Brock Holt were traded to the Boston Red Sox right after Christmas. I combined both of these since they went together and honestly I just won’t have enough to write about either one now that they are gone. You can read all about that trade [...]
Flash in the pan or something more - Brock Holt
Just a disclaimer before I start this post. I'm working on kind of switching up the way I do things here on the blog. Before, a large majority of my posts were dedicated to game recaps and the like. I'm attempting to get away from that. I may still do it occasionally but only when I have writer's block. The big reason I did that for so long is in hopes...
Holt’s Whirlwind Season Gives Him Opportunity to Finish in the Bigs
Brock Holt stands at just 5′ 10″ and 170 pounds, but don’t let his size fool you of the drive that he has.
“Isn’t that the beauty of this sport?,” Manager Clint Hurdle said. “That he’s overachieving, but maybe he’s not because everybody else’s expectations of what’s successful should be, or what a successful second baseman should look like? I just love the fact...
What do the Pirates have in Brock Holt?
With his four hits last night, Brock Holt quickly ascended to the top of every single Pirate fan's "Please tell me this guy can be better than Clint Barmes when Neil Walker comes back" list. Because of the Pirates' utter lack of shortstop depth in the minors before Alen Hanson's emergence this year (and maybe again after Hanson makes what seems like an inevitable...
First Pitch: Can Brock Holt Play Shortstop?
The most popular question I saw on Twitter tonight was “How many different movie titles, song titles, or Arrested Development references can we make using Brock Holt’s name?” The second most popular question was “Can Brock Holt play shortstop?”
Brock Holt(!) is off to a great start to his pro career, hitting for a .462/.500/.538 line in 14 plate appearances after tonight’s...

The rookie second baseman’s number was placed on the wrong side of the front of his jersey. The stats for the former Rice product through three games: two hits, one walk, one RBI, and one jersey fail.
We’ve seen players with misspelled...
Pirates Infielder Brock Holt's Jersey Number Sewn Onto Wrong Side of Uniform (Photo)
Pirates infielder Brock Holt hasn't been in the major leagues for very long, but he's been around long enough to dirty up a jersey or two. Apparently, he's used up his quota of the good ones. Holt took the field on Monday afternoon for the Pirates sporting his usual No. 2 jersey -- with one problem. Holt's number was sewn onto the wrong side of his jersey front, meaning...
