Carl Crawford To Add Bunting

Come on, tell the truth, did you think the speedy Carl Crawford had no bunting skills? Inexplicably, the Red Sox left-fielder has never really utilized bunting and speed to augment his on-base percentage. Last year, that OBP was a career-low .289 in his first year in Boston.

Now, finally, at the urging of Bobby Valentine, Crawford is honing his bunting skills with an eye toward diversifying his threat potential. This should be a monster comeback year for "The Perfect Storm" (bet you didn't know that was his nick-name, either).
