Sports Q: Who is the Red Sox’ all-time best out-of-nowhere success story?

Welcome to Boston.com’s Sports Q, our daily conversation, initiated by you and moderated by Chad Finn, about a compelling topic in Boston sports. Here’s how it works: You submit questions to Chad through Twitter, Facebook, and email. He’ll pick one each weekday to answer, then we’ll take the discussion to the comments. Chad will stop by several times per day to navigate. But you drive the conversation.

Who is the last Sox player/prospect to come literally out of nowhere and look great the way that Garrett Whitlock has this season?
