FORT MYERS, Fla. -- If coming to Red Sox camp with no defined role seemed humbling for Allen Craig a year ago, this time he comes without even a roster spot.
A World Series hero with the Cardinals in 2011 and a top National League run producer in '12 and '13, Craig's production fell sharply the past two years.
If his status on the depth chart has changed dramatically, his attitude has not.
Remarkably even keel when he was at his best, Craig has remained that way through these tough times -- which he is still convinced are only temporary.
