The Red Sox outfield doesn't stink anymore

Back on June 11 Boston's five outfielders were batting a collective .215.  If the Red Sox are still trying to win this year (which they may not be after dropping a third straight game in Toronto yesterday to fall to 47-55), the common perception is that they need to bring in some outfield help before the trade deadline next week (July 31).  In reality that's no longer the case:

Since being introduced to the outfield Brock Holt is hitting .317 while player all three OF positions.  And speaking of team MVP Holt, how about this:

With his start at 2B today, Brock Holt will become the first Red Sox ever to start at every position other than P and C in the same season.

Daniel Nava got sent down to the minors due to his horrific April, but since being recalled in late May he's batting .314 with a .391 on-base percentage.

Shane Victorino is 8-for-19 (.421) in five games after finally getting healthy again.

Even Jackie Bradley Jr. has been an above average hitter of late.  Seriously.  He's hitting .298 over the past five weeks.
