Holy s***. I can't believe we're getting 1 hit right now in one of Lackey's only effective games as a member of the Sox (yes, I'm exaggerating slightly).
This seems pretty out there, but hell, Ortiz could hit leadoff as well as Ellsbury/Crawford have so far this year.
I will say though that I would prefer to keep Crawford there and let him get through this since I think he should be hitting leadoff long-term.
We all thought the Guardians and the Rays would be punching bags, and we're in danger of being swept by both. There's no way to tell how the schedule is going to play out over the rest April, but things can only go up from here, right?
I completely agree with this. The only glaring problems are Dice-K and Lackey. We're going nowhere with zero production from either one of them.
Youk and Crawford will hit eventually, problem is, will it be too late to matter?
