The Boston Red Sox have a history of outstanding right-fielders whose defensive prowess in managing the complicated defensive requirements of right field is coupled with the ability to be solid offensive contributors.
Jackie Jensen was a five-tool player who was the 1958 American League MVP — a power hitter from the right side with a cannon for an arm. Jensen was an early winner of that newfangled Gold Glove Award. Then we go to Trot Nixon, who was a member of the historic 2004 team and a real dirt dog. Mookie Betts needs no introduction, and his absence will forever be a mark of shame on Red Sox management.
