POSITION: Starting Pitcher
WHY IS HE HERE? Ferriss was one of the two top pitchers on the team during the 1946 season in which the Red Sox steamrolled their way to the World Series. His Major League debut was delayed a bit due to service in World War II, but he won 20+ games in each of this first two seasons and finished in the top ten in the MVP vote both years.
WOULD I PUT HIM IN IN 2001?: Yes.
ANY BETTER CHOICES IN 2001?: Any of the better choices are already here.
WOULD I PUT HIM IN NOW?: Yes.
ANY BETTER CHOICES NOW?: Of course there are other pitchers that should be in, but Ferriss was a big part of the team at a certain point. In order to tell a full history of the team, he has to be in. He was one of the aces of a team that went to the World Series and that means something.
