Junior and Iglesias Get to Start

Jackie Bradley Jr. (or JBJ like RG3) was informed yesterday that he made the team & will get the start in LF today at Yankee Stadium. Good for him & the Sox. Circumstances with Ortiz are such that the team needed another left-handed bat & JBJ was there at the right time. Let's not forget that Jose Iglesias is getting an opening day start as well in place of the injured Stephen Drew. Iglesias also has a chance to prove that he can hit major league pitching & that he belongs on the big team. When opportunity knocks - like Bledsoe getting hurt & Brady going in - you have to take advantage of it. We'll see if either stays with the team once Big Papi & Drew return from injury.
