Well did it end up any different than any of you thought? They sure didnt show up for the Angel series now did they? Ain't no blaming Paps for that! The pitching sure didn't let them down it was the hitting as we all know.
What's in store for changes if any? Papi, nope. Lowell, hope not. Gonzo hope not, he solidified a rather pourous defense compared to past years. Buchy, you heard it here first from me, finally hope not, he's well on his way to proving his worth. Bay's gone not by choice, but because once again our front office did'nt want to pony up!! Now what about Dice K, now there's someone worth dangling to some team. Saito's been optioned to triple A as of today, he's gone, too old anyways. Tek retire please!!
It's obvious that we need hitting, but will a trade or free agency actually happen? According to Theo. changes MIGHT NOT be in order!! He might play out NEXT year until People like Papi and Lowell come off the books. I will guarantee that if that's the case the Sox will win between 85 to 90 games tops.
The pitching is in decent shape for next year only needing maybe a 5 starter that can last a full year, sorry Wake your time is up also. Bard needs to stay, along with the rest of the pen, minus Delcarmen. Wouldn't mind seeing Wagner one more year.
Long and short was I dissapointed, yes of course, but being a realist I knew inside we would not get past the Angel's.
Till next year Sox fans, Slammer
