    I don't buy into the luck theory of building a bullpen. Bullpens are a huge factor in today's game. If such a significant factor in the game is left to chance, then some new blood and new ideas are needed in major league baseball front offices. I think the successful teams adapt throughout the season and continue to build their bullpens after the start of the season. Last year, the Sox FO efforts to build the bullpen during the season were woeful. The internal candidates were generally ineffective, and they made no significant moves outside the organization. They take accountability for the bullpen. It had no significant injuries, and I don't buy the crap shoot theory. There has to be accountability.

    I hear that Gary Rogenburk (sp) - once big prospect has finally put things together for Bill Lee's traveling team, and Robinson Checo is finally healthy too.

    Would that be the run prevention model that had the Sox finish next to last in run prevention in 2010? Lol! I have heard from Marlins fans that Uggla significantly improved his fielding last year.

    Three of the 4 guys that were supposed to fight it out for the setup roles bombed out. That's a terrible batting average by the FO-- just terrible

    The issues that he had were over 2 years ago. Bouts with acute anxiety are not as likley to recur as other forms of mental illness. With our crack medical staff, he'd be more likely to come to the Sox with an undiagnosed shoulder injury.

    Who is assigning blame? I posted a quote from today's paper that included some interesting statistics. I erroneously attributed the article to the Globe. The quote was from the Herald. One of the worst fielding positions on the Sox was pitcher. That has nothing to do with injuries, but rather a lack of fundamentals. I do believe in accountability, and since a big part of the teams lousy ERA was attributable to the bullpen, I do believe the FO is accountable for the terrible pitching.

    In the end, not only did the focus on run prevention not work, but the Sox were one of the worst defensive teams in the league. From today's Boston Globe:

    The Greinke and Dice K moves are just examples of possible moves. Crawford is a superstar. When we play the Rays, we don't beat them unless we keep him off the bases. He has been a one man wrecking crew. He would be a force on the Sox.
