What hurdles will Brad Boxberger need to leap to be the shut-down closer the Rays hope he can be?
A human's core is one of the essential parts of his body; that's why it's called the core. Stuart Wallace of Beyond the Box Score describes it as "a complex swath of real estate, comprised of more muscles, ligaments, bones, and soft tissue elements than any other part of the body, with a number of systems that share portions of core anatomy to perform their duties, such as the genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems."
Since the core is so important, any injury to the area could be debilitating, which is exactly what happened to Brad Boxberger.
