While most of our attention has been locked on the Boston Red Sox, it’s always nice to see a former fan favorite find success elsewhere – so long as they aren’t doing so against us. That has become the case for Will Middlebrooks, who recently reemerged with the Texas Rangers.
The 28-year old was a September call up for the Rangers, given the opportunity to see playing time at third base in the wake of a season-ending injury to another old friend, Adrian Beltre. While he’s only appeared in three games with the Rangers, including one start, Middlebrooks is making the most of his return to the big leagues.
