Russell the Muscle

In Section: Cute Sports Posted By: Nicole

This MLB.com Fantasy article names Russell one of the biggest regrets of the first-half. As in,  wish you had him on your team...

The first half of this season has been excruciatingly unpredictable, and baseball fans across America are grinding their teeth in search of a logical explanation to a maddening last few months.
