The Boston Red Sox are still making sense of how Yoenis Cespedes fits into their offense.

David Ortiz and Mike Napoli draw a lot of walks, but Cespedes is much more aggressive while hitting in the middle of the two veterans.

"With it will come some quick outs, but at the same time the ability to impact the baseball is a result of the aggressiveness as well," John Farrell said of Cespedes' plate approach. "He hasn’€'t become more aggressive since coming over here. This is the player we were well aware of and pursued heavily. We're fully accepting of the style of player he is."

Since coming over from the Oakland Athletics, Cespedes has a .219/.231/.406 line with one walk and 11 strikeouts.

"He's been accustomed to hitting in the four hole. [We're trying] to transition him in here with as much comfort as possible. That doesn't mean that going forward there won't be an alignment that flips him and Napoli," Farrell said. "I'm not saying that's going to be tomorrow, but we'll take a look at every combination that's available to us."
