The Boston Red Sox were a joke last season. Beyond laughable. 69-93, last place in the best division in baseball. From day one Bobby Valentine had no control over is team and they underperformed every night.
The Red Sox hired their former pitching coach John Farell and all the puzzle pieces fell into place. This team is extremely talented and one of the best teams in baseball. After losing the bad contracts of Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Adrian Gonzalez they've actually become better
This team is a Starting Pitcher and a Bullpen Piece away from becoming a championship caliber team. Look for likes of Matt Graza, Jake Peavy, Bud Norris, Francisco Rodriguez, Bobby Parnell, and Jonathan Pabelpon to be traded for. They have everything right in front of them.
Losing arguably their top 3 best relievers in Andrew Bailey, Joel Hanrahan, and Andrew Miller has only made them stronger. Although they might be in trouble if Clay Bucholz is indeed injured.
They needed someone to step up maybe someone like Wil Middlebrooks you'd think, right? No, he's currently in the minors. Dustin Pedoria and David Ortiz are both having MVP seasons. One of them is currently in talks to be locked up for $100 Million.
The Red Sox might be compared to the San Antonio Spurs and not in the way you think. This is the year to put all the eggs in the basket an try an win it all. This might be their last chance for a while. It's the Red Sox, trust me they'll be willing to take risks.
