What about Jenks providing anything? If he's even remotely healthy, he should.
What about the young pitchers? Tazawa, Alex Wilson, Doubront? What if at least one of them comes up aces? Why can it happen for other teams but not the Sox?
What if Bard or Aceves is stellar in the rotation? What if both do?
What if the Sox sign Kuroda or Oswalt and Bard becomes a lights-out close, Aceves a good #5 and the signing pans out?
There are a lot of things that can go right for the Red Sox, but for some reason, everything HAS to go wrong.
