For most of the first half of the season, Jackie Bradley Jr. was a superstar on defense, and the complete opposite on offense. The defense alone made him a valuable player and one to keep starting, since good defensive center fielders are slowly becoming more and more...

Red Sox Nation has spent much of this season focusing on two major issues: How bad/annoying/swing at the first pitch-y A.J Pierzynski is as well as whether or not Jackie Bradley, Jr, will ever hit enough to justify his other worldly defense in the daily lineup. As AJP...
