Red Sox 25 in 25: Robbie Ross

The numbers won’t overwhelm you, but Robbie Ross had a pretty solid season in his first year with the Boston Red Sox.

At least it was better than his previous year, when the failed attempt by the Texas Rangers to turn him into a starter inflated his ERA to a disastrous 6.20. Boston banked on a return to full-time bullpen duty leading to a bounce-back season, which for the most part they were correct about.

When the Red Sox acquired Ross it was with a whiff of desperation to improve a struggling bullpen.
