Short Story Of David Price: The Boston Red Sox

Improved Essays
It’s beginning to look like David Price can’t catch a break with the Boston Red Sox. Throughout the past few weeks, he’s been dragged through the mud, as the media criticized his leadership skills in the clubhouse. Unfortunately, the five-time All-Star won’t have the chance to stop the conversation anytime soon, because he’s been placed on the 10-day disabled list with left elbow inflammation.
Price originally suffered an elbow injury in spring training, that almost sidelined him for two months. The fanbase was kept in the dark about the issue, as team officials danced around the topic. There was a period, when it looked like Price’s season could be in jeopardy, because nobody was willing to talk about his elbow publically.
On May 29th, Price

    Clayton Kershaw is on the mend from a lower back injury, but before the All-Star break, he was looking like the presumptive NL Cy Young winner. Unfortunately, he still hasn’t made it back from his injury, but it seems like he will be returning pretty soon. If I was going to go out on a prediction on what day he will return, it would probably be in this upcoming week. Clayton Kershaw finished off the first half of the season with a 1.79 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, and an impressive 9 walks in 121 innings played. If Kershaw can return with similar numbers, he will definitely be the front runner for the NL Cy Young Award and possibly the NL MVP.…
