The Boston Red Sox are in a bad funk. They need someone or several players to step up & lead the team to a victory on Tuesday night & during the rest of their homestand.
Tim Wakefield is the scheduled starter for the Sox, still going for win #200 for the umteenth time. This could be one of Wake's last starts in a Red Sox uniform if Beckett & Bedard take their turns next time around. You know that Wake will give up some runs, so the offense will have to score 5 or 6 anyways.
My vote for leadership goes to the 2 guys who embody what the Red Sox are all about - Dustin Pedroia & Kevin Youkilis. Petey is due to break out of his offensive slump. Youk will be rested & ready to contribute to the offense as well. I'm looking for a big homestand from both of these guys. Maybe the rest of the team will follow.

We need there to be a couple of pitchers in that mix as well.
