Red Sox Nation, please take a deep breath. A real big deep breath. Fans need to remember, this kid is just 20 years old and is learning a whole new game and a whole new culture.
When I say kid, I mean kid, because like 4000 other "kids" who waited after the Sea Dogs 11-8 comeback win over the Trenton Thunder, Jose Iglesias ignored the spread rehabbing Mike Cameron purchased for the team, went just outside the clubhouse door to the field, and watched fireworks.
Stars might have been in his eyes watching the post game ritual at Hadlock, but they sure aren't when he is on the field. While all fans had been introduced to his defense in spring training, what continues to impress people that watch him every night, is his performance at the plate. Tonight, Iglesias went 4-5 with 3 singles and a triple that helped set up the huge 8th inning.
