Red Sox: “Killer B’s” in the outfield are killing the offense

Male bumblebee’s do not sting. They have no stinger and simply buzz around, or dance around like the Boston Red Sox former “Killer B’s,” whose trademark is a dance in the outfield. Face it, folks, Jackie Bradley, Andrew Benintendi and Mookie Betts have no sting this season.

Rookies often hit a wall, even those projected to be a star. Mike Trout – the faux MVP of 2016 – hit just .220 in 40 games as a 19-year-old. The next season Trout was Rookie of the Year.
