Slowly but surely the Sox cobble a team together less expensive than the Yankees. Snow will make a fine defensive replacement, pinch hitter, and alternate with Youkillis.
Many may underestimate what Kevin can do. He does not even have to hit for such a high average to achieve a good OBP. Johnny Damon he is not. But perhaps, with time, a Wade Boggs type or lite. As for the Sox being misdirected and directionless, bah hambug. Holding on to Lester, Palpebon, Hansen, Marte for dear life is exactly how to build an organization from bottom up. Bring in some youth, bring down the payroll[or at least increase its flexibility], and build the team around pitching. It is the very fact that the Red Sox had a paucity of pitching, matched by lead footed defender who were tailored to the cozy confines of Fenway which interfered with winning a World Series. The Sox could not adjust on the road and the Sox could not rely on good pitching when it is most important.
KEEP THE FAITH AND BE PATIENT. PERHAPS, THIS NOT WHAT JESUS[ALOU] WOULD HAVE DONE. IT MAY NOT BE THAT FAR OFF FROM WHAT THEO WOULD HAVE DONE.
WITH THAT SAID, ALL US BROOKLINE HIGH ALUMNI ARE PROUD OF YOU :)
