Yeah first one in 20+ years. Forgot to include prehistoric times. Theyve had some success with the last man spot though. And Sale, Loaiza and Buehrle recently started but presumably those were manager choices.
Yeah Abreu is a weird case for a Sox player where he may have a bigger profile nationally than locally. Hes the only Sox player ever to be voted a starter. With renewed interest in the team this year and little competition I imagine that happens again.
Eh I dont see the rush. This isnt dunning here. If rodon gets the surgery now hes pretty much done for and his Sox career is all but over. May as well see if theres any other option
