My Take
Brandon Moss is the kind of ballplayer I instinctively root for. A high schooler out of Loganville, Georgia, he debuted in 2007 as a Red Sox prospect but never simply coasted into stardom; instead he carved out a long major league life across seven organizations, from Boston and Pittsburgh to Oakland, Cleveland and beyond. What I value is that persistence, the willingness to keep reinventing himself as a left-handed power bat capable of covering the outfield or first base. There's a grinder's pride in surviving that many uniforms, and I'll always take that dogged staying power over easy, frictionless talent.
