What they should do:
1. Fire Farrell, make Disarcina the manager and Jonny Gomes the bench coach
2. Sign JD Martinez to play 1B until HRam's deal is over
3. Add another bullpen arm
4. Try to extend Betts and Sale
5. Have Price get surgery
@PeteAbe
Price faced Lin, Marrero & Young. 11 plate appearances. 1 or maybe 2 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts by my count. 47 pitches, 30 strikes.
On his way back.
It would take one good start for Ervin Santana to get past the Yankees. If it was a full series, the Yankees would definitely win. One single game? Who knows?
@alexspeier
Eduardo Nunez (knee ligament sprain) out for at least another week. Are Sox confident he'll be back? Farrell: 'Too early to tell' (cont)
@alexspeier
Farrell said that Nunez's injury is not to MCL or ACL. He is doing strengthening exercises/staying mobile. Will be reevaluated in a week.
I can be convinced either way. I do believe that batting order is overrated, but also believe it's fun to talk about. It's the most basic strategy that you can discuss ad nauseam.
