Sox don't hit RHP well. Royals don't hit LHP well. 

Wacha has won all 4 of his starts vs AL Central teams. This does not bode well for the AL Central Boston Red Sox.

It's an interesting turn of events, given that much of the off-season discussion was that we were way too lefty-oriented.  I'd like them to re-visit my Duran for Vientos/Baty suggestion.

Vientos could be the worst 3b in MLB. Where would he play for BOS? Platoon DH? Is Baty the fulltime 3B?

Much talk about having both Early and Tolle in Worcester but I'm glad it's turned out this way.

Suarez is the real deal. He is a pitcher. Same goes for Sonny Gray. This team needs a Contreras clone to be the DH. We need an upgrade at 3B and a better shortstop. We're not that far away. It sucks to have the two contracts for another year.

Almost everyone thought it best Early and Tolle start in AAA, knowing chances would arise.
