Aaron Boone said he saw it in spring training.
“This guy’s healthy and in a good place, there’s no question in my mind he can really hit,” the Yankees’ manager recalled thinking. “He hit all spring.”He earned a promotion on April 8, and has become a mainstay in the lineup due to injury and underperformance around him. Willie Calhoun celebrates in the dugout with teammates after hitting a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning of the Yankees’ 3-1 win over the Red Sox.Calhoun entered the contest posting a slash line of .244/.316/.403, with four home runs and 15 RBIs in 119 at-bats.The well-traveled, 28-year-old Calhoun has performed better as his role has expanded.
“I want some balance in the lineup, and with Rizzo being out tonight, for me it was easy to put him in there,” the manager said before the game.
