It was written and so it is .. my eyes ain't lying

He was born prematurely in 2014 after Jacoby defected to NY and the Sox had no choice after Shane's injury. Ready or not, JUNIOR was our everyday CF and he wasn't ready after only 80 games at AAA but he had no choice. He was born early and he got christened under fire at Fenway but that's how he learned to hit and and that's how the Nation learned lessons

He had a CANNON but he didn't hit so they sent him to AAA and when he came back he hit worse. The lesson learned is you don't send a GOLD GLOVE to AAA to learn how to hit ML pitching.. especially when the cannon had MORE assists in FEWER games as a ROOKIE than anybody in HISTORY. Especially when you're in last place and especially when the only thing you had to lose was any confidence he had left

In 2015 he hit 250 but he slashed 390 530 890 in AUG-SEPT and the lesson learned is he's locked in when his walk to hit ratio is 33%. In 2016 he hit 260 but he slashed 416 574 816 in APRIL-MAY and the lesson learned was the people who wanted him traded didn't know a diamond in the rough when they saw it and anybody who wanted him released was walking on earth with no brains. In 2017 he hit 245 but he hit 500 w runners in scoring position during post-season and he drove in more runs/AB than everybody in baseball. The lesson learned is he might be a special player who rises to the occasion who thrives on the biggest stage but more information was needed

In 2018 he hit 235 but he hit 300 down the stretch and it was written - JUNIOR cometh during the post-season and so it is. I also predicted he'd be the BEAST with RISP and now isn't the time for me to be bashful NO SIR not when he's slashing 750 857 2.500 3.357 with 9 RBI and I've seen enough to know. JUNIOR is a 'money player' and my eyes ain't lying
