You guys have become terribly spoiled. As far as I am concerned, none of our guys from the 2004 and 2007 teams suck. It's hard to say that a starting SS on a World Series Champion sucks. Are there better options? Yes, but there are better options at just about every position. Lugo has plus range, a strong arm and good speed on the bases. He steals a lot of bases. On most of the teams I have watched throughout the years, he would be considered to be our speed threat, but he plays with Crisp and Ellsbury who are even faster. He has been a disappointment offensively, but he does have a higher OBP than Jeter at the halfway mark. Is he the biggest problem on the Red Sox? No. I think we need the starters to go deeper into games to cover up for a deficient bullpen. We need Ortiz' big stick back in the line up and we need to move Ellsbury down in the order and put Youk in the two-hole to set the table with Pedroia if Ellsbury continues in his funk.
