Roster Starting to Change

As the Sox re-group on the way to Minnesota for an away series, there will be some changes on the field & in the dugout. Outfield help has arrived by way of Marlon Byrd in a trade with the Cubs. Byrd is a seasoned outfielder & a right-handed bat. A change of scenery may be what he needs to get his game going this year. Due to the rainout yesterday, Daniel Bard is now available for the next few nights out of the bullpen. Bard can only help the worst bullpen in all of baseball thus far. And Lars Anderson was called up to replace Jason Repko who went on the DL. Anderson may pinch-hit off the bench &/or try a game or two in the outfield. Look for Aaron Cook to be added to the starting rotation soon & Daniel Bard to permanently head back into the bullpen. Inconsistent efforts by the entire pitching staff, up & down run production by the offense & shoddy defense have produced the current 4-10 record. Changes are bound to continue as the Sox struggle to survive the early part of the season. Go Bruins!

All of the reclaimation projects that were hired by the Sox in the off season were in hopes that someone might come through and perform well. No such luck! The old adage "if you throw enough s**t against the wall, some of it will stick" doesn't apply here. In reality, most times when you start with s**t, you end up stinking.
