Would you be willing to link to some of these articles or let me know where I can find them? I'd like to read up on them.
I enjoyed listening to Keith Law talk about the state of the Sox on Sox Machine's latest podcast. It's good to hear outsiders' thoughts on the team, and it was refreshing to hear him say positive things about what the Sox are doing and who they are bringing in. He even went as far to say (paraphrasing) that he doesn't believe Jerry is micro-managing the team into oblivion like Arte Moreno is with the Angels. He seems to think there is legitimate hope.
