I think that's exactly what Farrell was doing last night with Owens starting--preparing for a disaster. Remember, when he brought Barnes in, there was a man on first in the 4th inning, but the Sox were leading, 5-3. In general that is also what long relievers are for--contingencies. Right now the Sox like to keep Tazawa, Uehara, and Kimbrel on hand for the final three innings when the Sox are ahead or tied or maybe just 1 run down. The other four relievers are for both long relief and for spelling the "big three" because they can't pitch every game.

Defensively, Hanley is fine, but 1b should produce a good hitter. Last year and this year not so great at the plate.

Tazawa's forkball makes him a keeper.

I'm also new and can vouch for moonslav but not for myself, a Sox fan since 1949 (born at Fort Banks, now gone, in suburbs of Boston). 31 years in the Army, retired 23 years ago in Fairfax County, VA, only Sox fan among 6 siblings. Have never actually tried to produce a Broadway musical, but am a Mel Brooks fan. I think I am civil even when disagreeing.
