Despite The Red Sox recent success and even though the Magic Number is only 16, I still have some complaints as a member of Red Sox Nation.
1. Buchholz No No not good enough?
- Why is Clay Buchholz in the bullpen and not in the starting rotation? John Lester has a 5.26 ERA and 3 wins in 7 starts while Buchholz is 3-0 in 2 starts with a 1.50 ERA, 17 strikeouts and a no- hitter under his belt. I just cannot comprehend why we do not move Lester to the bullpen. I know Clay is a rookie, but when he is hot let him start! Don't throw him in the bullpen were his talent will not be used to its fullest capability.
2. J.D. or Jacoby?
- J.D. Drew I am not giving up on you, at least not yet, but once again when you have a rookie who fields amazingly and is a great hitter why not start him in the line up everyday? Jacoby right now is hitting .444 while Drew is batting .252. Now I know Drew has played in more games than Jacoby so therefore he has a lower average, but he needs to get out of this season slump and become the five tool player he can be. If he doesn't I believe Jacoby should play right field when Manny comes back and then we have another speed demon on the bases.
3. Who did we get for Willy Mo?
- I cannot believe I am saying this but as of right now it looks the Red Sox got the bad end of the Willy Mo Pena deal. The invisible man has not showed his face yet in a Red Sox uniform and I am left wondering if Theo did not just pay the Nationals to take him off our hands. Until I see this mystery man I will not be happy with getting rid of a player who can only hit fastballs.

3 Things Wrong with the Red Sox

1. Clay is nasty, but don;t forget Lester went 7-2 in 2006 and is now 4-0 in 2007. Lester has earned the starter role, but just barely.
2. Manny is the key to the Ellsbury/Drew dilemma. When Manny comes back, I think you will see Drew get more time off, but right now Drew has to play.
3. From Wikipedia - "On August 17 Peña was traded to the Washington Nationals, with Red Sox receiving 25 year-old first baseman Chris Carter and the Arizona Diamondbacks receiving Emiliano Fruto and cash considerations." -- Carter is a 1B/0F prospect that will be lucky to make the bigs in 2008...
