[1] At the time Guerra drew mixed reviews for his defense because he had fringy speed, but he showed a very quick first step and excellent range to both sides.

He had very soft but quick hands and was assured in the field, which complemented his arm, perhaps the strongest in the Red Sox system.

[6] He spent 2017 with Lake Elsinore and the Double-A San Antonio Missions, batting .222/.266/.349 with nine home runs and 53 RBIs in 128 games between both teams.
