I’m one of the few people that believes that the Red Sox will be just fine without adding an ace…
The Boston Red Sox have finally pushed themselves to a winning record, and they will look to carry that momentum into tonight's game, as Daisuke Matsuzaka teeters on the edge of a double digit ERA.
The Boston Red Sox will head north to Canada, kicking off week-long road stand against the Dana Eveland and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Dice-K, are you prepared to step up with a quality start? That's what we'll need at an absolute minimum to win.
Jon Lester would certainly trade his start to the 2009 season with Kevin Youkilis. Reason being, they have been polar opposites of what was expected of them coming into this season.
The Angels do not get on base much, and they haven't hit for all that much power of late. I am a stat-guy. So I believe that an offense needs to do these things to score enough runs. There is only so much that can happen as a result of "hit and runs" and taking the extra base. Now, taking the extra base is great, and often overlooked--as is baserunning in general. But a team must get on base enough, in order to score enough.
The Abreu acquisition was great. For that amount of money, the team put aside their philosophy of having only players who can play defense, and sacrificed "it" for a little offense. There is no risk in signing Abreu, and he should still hit for average, get on base, and flash enough power to make him a quality all-around player.
