And we all know about Sale's history of September swoons. I think Cora would want to reduce Sale's innings this year to avoid tired arm syndrome in September, but unless the other starters show consistency, this may not be possible. Also, there's the inconsistent BP, which doesn't help.
I believe the SOX line-up can afford a poor hitting catcher. Maybe they can package JBJ and Swihart in a trade. Pedey's return should lengthen the line up.
Hey, the SOX are 28-12, which is pretty amazing considering the SP's, the BP, and the bottom of the line-up. I'm sure these glitches will catch up to the SOX, but for now I really can't complain.
