Bellhorn is off to a slow start, but give me one reason why he won't be a very, very solid 2B by the 162nd game this year?

I wouldn't mind Huff. Obviously, he isn't the player that Helton is, but he also doesn't have the contract that Helton does. I wish the Red Sox could get Ryan Howard, though. Overybay would be a great pickup, too.
The Sox didn't go through ANYTHING like this. .500 baseball is a little bit better than .424 baseball.
.500 baseball for 162 games: 81-81
.424 baseball for 162 games: 69-93
