The offense is a legit concern. They need to hit HRs, but they also need to be able to get a guy in from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

The top of the order should do just fine. I am scared about the bottom when Viciedo, Ramirez, Flowers and Beckham let even the shittiest of pitchers get on a roll by striking out the side.

I am kind of serious when I say that Gillaspie proving himself to an adequate everyday 3B is a key. If he can follow his OBP from the minors, he would be able to break up the low OBP/high strikeout count of those other guys and be a person on base when one of them hits their home run. The left handed hitting is also important.

If Gillaspie or Morel can hit more than Beckham, I don't see how you don't use that guy at third with Keppinger at second. This has to be it for Beckham. Yeah his defense is nice, but it's a luxury for a team that's probably going to struggle to score runs. You have to get more than .650 OPS out of that spot.

Yep. This is the last chance for Beckham with the Sox. They have some guy in the minors who is set ot take over 2B next year and Beckham's production (other than HR) would be nearly impossible not to exceed.

But, if Gillaspie can play, I'd still like Keppinger to be a guy who is playing everywhere rather than set at any position.

I don't think Keppinger can play average defense at 2B. I could be wrong.

I would like to see Carlos Sanchez play SS this year at triple A. Alexei is the one who needs to be put on notice. He's going to be really expensive the next few years (13: $7M, 14: $9.5M, 15: $10M) and a .265/.287/.364 line just isn't going to cut it for that kind of money.

Can someone explain to me why Brent Morel has been getting some time at SS this spring???

That sounds like a REALLY bad idea...

He's got good enough feet and a strong enough arm to play a creditable short as a backup. He's probably the best third baseman they have defensively. I think the Sox probably hope that flash at the end of 2011 is the real Morel and he can be an everyday player and the only think holding him back is injuries. And I'm not just talking about his back. It doesn't get talked about a whole lot, but Morel had something wrong with him that I'm not sure the doctors ever even figured out. He had a problem keeping weight on. At one point they thought it was celiac disease. Anyway, I just think they're giving him a shot at making the team as a utility guy. I think they believe he has more stick than any of the other candidates.

You need to change the title Ivan.

The other came in 2005, the year they won the World Series.

I don't know what it is, Frank. But I'm getting the same feeling I had in 2005. It could just be bad heroin again, but I doubt it...

I'm not ready to jump off the bandwagon quite yet, but I have moved to the back of the bus and my hand is on the emergency exit handle...

I'd like to, but the injury bug might just be too much. If Tanks can't come back soon, and Floyd is out for more than a few starts (as much as I hate the bastard), this thing could get away from the Sox real quick. They were 3-5 on this recent homestand. Thats not good enough.

Thats funny. You don't really expect this collection of steaming monkey spunk (currently 10-14 a half game better than the Cubs actually) is gonna contend do you? Like I said in spring training....3rd place.

Do not lose faith now during these trying times, for Our adversity will be rewarded in October.

Paulie be praised.

Just think of how silly you're going to feel when everything starts to click for this team. You're gonna be like "Krazy. Um.....I was wondering. Would it be alright if I hop aboard the Sox Train™?" And I'll be all "Hell to tha Naw" And You'll say "C'mon, man. I just couldn't see things the way you could and needed everything to be spelled out for me like it is now". Then I'll say "Well, I'll consider it. But first you need to learn your lesso.........." Scratch that last part.
