I think that line of thinking would work better if they are really ready to win. This team isn't ready for prime time. It could be a good time to play around with ideas, but I don't know if the manager needs to do anything more than make sure his younger guys are progressing appropriately and not getting into bad habits.
I have to say that it seems like the Sox are much more willing to try to beat the shift with a bunt this year.
O’Halloran on @weei says it’s such a strange year with the deadline already approaching but the Sox are talking to other teams about trades. Says it’s not really about buying and selling, they want moves that improve now and the future.
