Yeah, the key is to just get into the playoffs with as many bites at the apple as possible. The problem is the Sox just don't seem all that interested in that.
Eh the Sox could compete again if they went the Rays/Cleveland/Brewers route and actually developed guys and then made strategic trades from a good farm system. Sadly the Sox, thus far, have picked neither lane.
Getz is probably in a rental car driving down to Dallas right now. Wheeling and dealing taking phone calls from the carpool lane while being careful because JR didn't pay for comprehensive insurance.
