Britton is going to very quietly end up being very valuable for the Sox down the line, I expect.

The Ben Buchanon kiss of death. We might as well trade this guy now before he tanks.

Brandon Jacobs once again holds that only one of Jacobs/Vitek/Head/Brentz can have a good game at a time.

Also Ben, a BB next to Reddick? I thought he was a conscientious objector to talking a base on balls.

And no

Lately he has actually shown quite a willingness to walk. Sort of.

4 in his last 10 games.

Clearly this kid lacks character for not sticking to his morals. He flip-flops like a politician.

I'm just curious whether that's because he's actually being more selective about pitches

or because he’s just getting terrible pitches.

Britton could blow up next year.

Dude has a devastating FB/CB combo from the left side.

Brett Anderson is the Truth. Brett Anderson is divine presence. Brett Anderson is eternal life. Brett Anderson is within you. Brett Anderson is here. Brett Anderson is Now.
