Barfield?????

I think a lot of 613ers, ESPN viewers, and Gammon's fans alike were confused by his incredibly obscure reference to a baseball player reicarnated in the body of Willy Mo Pena.

Gammons wrote (and mentioned in a segment on sportscenter)
"The Red Sox hope this is a deal for today, giving them a boost against lefties and cutting down on the lefties coming out of the bullpen to face Nixon -- and for the future. Pena loves to play, wants to learn and because he was out of options and in the big leagues at 20, his development has been seriously retarded. Boston hopes it has another Jessie Barfield who after the age of 23 and with almost an identical number of at-bats, had a .309 on-base percentage, the same exact .780 OPS and 45 homers, in contrast to Pena's 51."

I looked up Barfield's career on BaseballReference.com and if Gammons is right, the sox have just picked up an outfielder that will hit 14 home runs and knock in 49 RBI's this year.
