In that 11-game stretch, he's posted a slash line that would make even Jesus Montero weep: .135/.238/.270. Shoppach has struck out at least once in every game he's started this season except two. The Baylor product should see more playing time (along with Jesus Sucre) due to Montero's exile, but both are merely AL-only fodder. SAFECO promises to sap some of Shoppach's power, the only above-average offensive trait he once possessed.

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that Shoppach could earn an additional $500,000 with incentives. The 32-year-old batted .233/.309/.425 over 76 games last season between the Red Sox and Mets and is expected to serve as Jesus Montero's backup in 2013.
