That fear materialized early, when he hit .156 with five RBI during 21 games in April. However, Bradley owns a .293 average (24-for-82) with 12 extra-base hits and 15 RBI over the last 26 contests.

If the team were hitting close to its preseason projections, they might be able to swallow Bradley's cipher of a bat. But with Boston's offense underperforming -- particularly at right field and first base -- change may need to happen. It started at first base Friday when Franchy Cordero was called up to platoon with Bobby Dalbec. As for right field, Jarren Duran is lighting it up at Triple-A Worcester, posting a .340/.441/.540 line over 13 games for the WooSox.
