Sorry for the short hiatus. I was ill over the weekend and am just now starting to feel better.
Here's what I've been thinking about recently...
With the addition of a couple big bats to the lineup, as well as a return to health for several Sox vets, it's easy to think the powerful offense will lead us to the promise land.
But I really don't think the success of Boston this season is so much in the hands of the offense as it is on the pitching staff. Beckett and Lackey thus far look thinner and in much better shape overall than they were last year. Beckett has already said he put 2010 behind and 2011 looks much more promising.
Lester is a stud. Buchholz is a stud. Dice-K I could do without (it's my blog and I can say what I want!)
Honestly, I think the Dice-K acquisition was the biggest waste of money in the history of professional sports.
Ok, getting off my tangent...the Sox pitchers will be the sole reason we win the World Series or don't. Bold statement I know. But the offense will be there. The defense will be there. We need the rotation and bullpen to step up now.
What do you think?
