The first half of the season was a Red Sox disappointment, but there were players that had performances that were worthy of the designation of team MVP. A few nuggets that surfaced during the first half. With a last place team the method is easier to select a list of disappointments and outright failures.
This is about the first half of the season and a second half may see a resurrection by some players and a sudden failure by others. That is one of the beauties of a long baseball season as a month-long hot streak can move a team or move a player.
