Amazing this club has been so successful considering all the problems with injuries. McDonald and Nava really kept the outfield together, and are at least the 4th and 5th best outfielders right now. Nava looks like he can hit at any level. McDonald is a plugger. These two stand out over Hermida, Hall and Patterson. Hall has some value in the IF, though I wonder if he ever played 2B on other teams. When you throw in Lowell's ups and downs, it makes for a confusing roster situation. But with Lowrie back, Ellsbury and Pedroia soon to follow, it could sort itself out as the season winds down. Trouble is, I doubt this team will make the playoffs. NY and TB have been far luckier with injuries--so far. I emphasize , so far.
