Big Things From Bradley Jr.

Every young player needs time in the Big Leagues before they're ready to go. The same can be said for Red Sox left fielder, Jackie Bradley Jr. The rookie has loads of talent on both field and at the plate, but has only a .143 batting average, through the first week. Bradley Jr, is one of the kind of players, who right now is sitting in the eight spot in the lineup, but could work his way up to as high as lead off, if all goes right. In my mind, however the ceiling for Bradley Jr. would be the five spot, to help out a righty dominated line-up. The reason I don't see Bradley Jr. Getting any higher, is due to the fact that with Ellsbury leading off, it's hard to see two of your lefties hitting early in a righty dominated line-up.

Down The Stretch:
If I haven't already stated it, I think Bradley Jr. is going to be HUGE for this Red Sox team in the upcoming years. With a great glove, and potentially productive at the plate, he is going to really help this team for years to come.

Red Sox Shortstop

If the Boston Red Sox have had one common plague over the past decade or so, it has been a shortstop. Over the past few seasons, it has been a shortstop carousel in Boston, but this season, they have two valid choices. Stephen Drew is a veteran player, who can be big at the plate, especially in run scoring opportunities. José Iglesias on the other hand is more of a great fielder, but through six games, he has put up very impressive numbers. Drew's constant contact, can help the Sox, but I think that Drew is the shortstop for a few years in Boston. That is until Bogaerts is ready.
