Cubs unsung heroes: Ryan Kalish, May 7, 2016
Photo by David Banks/Getty Images Ryan Kalish was one of “Theo’s guys” brought over to the Cubs. Kalish was selected by Theo Epstein’s Red Sox in the ninth round of the 2006 draft, hit well in their system and had a pretty good 52-game stint in Boston in 2010 at age 22 (.252/.305/.405, 41-for-163, four home runs, 10 stolen bases in 11 attempts).
It seemed, at the very least, that he’d become a good MLB fourth outfielder, perhaps vying to take a spot in Boston’s outfield.
