The defender could not help himself, he needed to make his views known, but when all of the pieces were put together from last season and into the summer, it was difficult to see that he was planning on staying at the club.

Ask any member of the Red Sox about Anthony and three themes emerge: His immense talent, his quiet confidence and an old-soul maturity uncommon for someone who couldn't legally drink until May 13.
