caulfield12 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 International Scouting College/HS Scouting Advance Scouting of other team's journeymen Cy Young-ish starters against us, or soft tossers under 90 MPH, or lefties for many years Minor League Scouting (Paddy seems to have quickly become a key piece already with Stewart and Molina coming over) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General manager Then: Starting pitching Positional players in general with a preference for a. Power b. Defense c. OBP d. Speed .... Bullpen Seriously bullpens are so easy to remake. Why would anyone make this a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there's a real strong correlation between a strong bullpen and making the playoffs. It covers up for a ton of other deficiencies.

Andrew Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Because there's a real strong correlation between a strong bullpen and making the playoffs. It covers up for a ton of other deficiencies. Not really an area of weakness for the Sox though (except the covering up part). Numbers wise, they've been successfully patching together bullpens with retreads, fix-ums, converts, and trades for awhile now.

Numbers wise, they've been successfully patching together bullpens with retreads, fix-ums, converts, and trades for awhile now. 2007 was the last disaster in that area. Which led to the signings of Linebrink and Dotel, both overpays in reaction to KW's gambles (assuming Politte/Cotts would last and that Sisco/Aardsma/Masset and random journeymen like Nelson or Mike Myers could cover up holes) with the 2006-07 pens.
