| Here's something about that great guy, Jason Bay |
|
Two paragraphs from the article about what the series supposedly revealed.
Even then, for all of the attention surrounding Ellsbury's trapeze act, his steal might not have been the most revealing play of the night. That might have come earlier, when Jason Bay stole second against Pettitte, renowned for being tough to run against. The steal was Bay's second of the season and made him an astonishing 48 of 52 since the start of the 2005 season, a success rate of 92.3 percent. What that speaks to, more than anything else, was Bay's "conscientious" nature -- that's Francona's word -- and the Red Sox' ability to scout, detect, and exploit. Bay was rather circumspect about what he detected in Pettitte's pickoff move, mechanics or tendencies, but the point is that he knows something.
"Some guys are fast enough to get into trouble. I'm not," Bay said. "I pick and choose my spots very carefully, like when I get a leg kick or a breaking ball count."
Great guy, smart move by the Sox to take him for what's-his-name?

| 2. Happy to have Bay on the Sox. |
|
Seems like a class act, and has been great in the clutch. We can also count on him to play his heart out, unlike that other guy.

| 3. He really is a great guy. It was a sorry day for the Pirates when they traded him. |
|
Great career move for Jason, though.
