the inability to steal bases is a big problem, take away the ability to break up DPs and score with singles.
on the flip side have a lumberer like Guerrero stealing third base, and the others literally beating the throw by a full two seconds, whether its Hall or AJ, pathetic.
also, can we seriously not throw out a runner ever. if you're playing the sox, draw walks and then steal every base, seems like an indefensible strategy
The opposition is 126 for 140 against the Sox this season, which is crazy considering we have two lefties in the rotation.
