Defensively, I haven't seen anything in Ross that makes me think he's more than replacement level. He hits lefties (something this club needs) but his glove seems below average.
Don't think 40k would take buses to the game if there was parking. Or you know, people could "walk" from South Station or some other spot. Not every stadium is readily accessible by public transit.
It's nice the Sox have their very own Grady Sizemore. Still not sure why they'd bring up Lin unless they enjoy putting out an NL lineup. Yuck.
Just means the pitching will have to step it up.
