My Take
Josh Reddick is one of those players I genuinely enjoyed watching even when he wasn't on my team — a classic corner outfielder with a left-handed swing built for the short porch and a glove that could absolutely rob you blind. Growing up in Savannah, Georgia, getting drafted in the 17th round in 2006, and then grinding his way up to become a legitimate MLB outfielder is the kind of blue-collar arc that never gets old. His 2012 AL Gold Glove with Oakland was well-earned — the A's had him covering right field like he owned the deed to it. The World Series ring with Houston in 2017 was a nice payoff for a guy who always seemed to show up when the pressure was real. Not a superstar, but exactly the kind of solid, professional ballplayer every contender needs.
