All I know is what they've tried to do the last FIVE years hasn't worked, if you assume this season is lost. And if not for a coin flip and a weak division in 08, it would be 8 years without the playoffs.
I'm not one to say blow it up for the sake of blowing it up. But if they fall out of it over the next month, you got to find out what Peavy and Rios are worth. And Thornton and Crain. And if there's a surprise move in there somewhere, you do it if it makes sense.
The Sox need to rebuild the offense over the next couple years. If they can get a couple offensive pieces that can be here in 2014 or 2015, then you got to try to do it.
