February is American Heart Month. As a nod to the Go Red for Women activities going on this month to help raise awareness, I thought I'd contribute several "red" themed posts sprinkled throughout the month. Here's the next one.
Let's talk about this card...
I think we're all hoping for a little more from Verdugo this season. As the major leaguer the Sox got in return in the Mookie Betts trade, we all hoped he would be Mookie's replacement. Of course, a one-to-one replacement was unfair. But, maybe at least an all-star caliber player? Which, he's been pretty close to thus fast. He had an pff year last year, but the first two were definitely solid building blocks. As he enters his age 27 season, hopefully he can take that next jump in a solid lineup.
The card itself is really interesting. As Fire always does, there are several different designs showing up throughout the set. This one, with the green elements, makes the red foil cards look a little too christmasy for my liking. Otherwise it's a nicely cropped shot of Alex in his Boston Strong jerseys. Nothing much to complain about there.
