Scott StinsonMookie Betts had 22 hits against the Toronto Blue Jays last season in 18 games, and scored 23 runs. The Red Sox outfielder had seven extra-base hits, including four homers, which is how you end up with a gaudy 1.031 OPS against the Jays. And yet, the Red Sox are apparently serious about this.
