It is amazing that with a constantly changing lineup and multiple regulars hitting below .200 , plus Devers errors/K's, that this team is still baseball's best win machine. Take it and be glad. It may be a long season but it will still come down to Astros, Yankees, Red Sox, a non descript AL Central team, maybe the Mariners hang on. The AL has 4 teams with win %'s above .617 (Astros, Mariners, Yankees, red Sox)) and the NL has exactly one ( Brewers) . I don't think Pedroia can be counted on except as a spot starter/PH'er. Probably will need to get a lot more out of Nunez and Holt to keep the bus rolling. Maybe Devers can get hot at some point or maybe he needs some retraining in R.I.
The overall pitching picture is far from clear and I'mm sure DD is looking at the possibilities of picking up a veteran starter later in summer . Both Fister and Peavy might be available.
