My Take
Ryan Roberts is the sort of player I quietly root for. A Fort Worth infielder who was never blessed with imposing size, he carved out a Major League career across five clubs, the Blue Jays, Rangers, Diamondbacks, Rays and Red Sox, by being versatile enough to cover both third and second base. Journeyman is too dismissive a word; persistence is more accurate. Climbing up from a Texas high school and surviving trade after trade demands a stubborn kind of grit that I find genuinely admirable. I will always take a scrappy survivor over a coddled prospect.
