Where Jackie Bradley Jr. fits in with the Red Sox’ focus on improved defense

COMMENTARY

We have spent an inordinate amount of time this spring thinking about both the Red Sox infield setup and the pitching staff. With good reason, given the money on the table for each group and, especially on the pitching side, the never-ending feeling what’s here isn’t enough.

Let’s fret about the outfield too, shall we? Balanced diet and all.

Boston’s outfield a year ago was key in turning a pleasant surprise Red Sox season into a playoff berth and ALCS run. It can be again.

And given the competition just within the AL East, I dare say it’ll need to be.
