I really want to see Coco get it turned around, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen. I like what he adds to the team defensively, but he is not a clutch RBI man like Damon was, and that is sorely missed.
There were mock trades in our local paper suggesting that the Sox may try to acquire a center fielder after the All Star Break, and Jim Edmunds name came up. eh?
What about a trade with Texas involving Kenny Lofton, Mark Textiera, or Eric Gagne? All three could help the Sox, and if we are going to mortgage our future, why not try and pry Textiera away from Texas? Instant O...plus Lofton can help with his playoff experience. I don't know, but I feel like a move needs to be made. The Sox have been winning games DESPITE the offensive woes of Crisp, Lugo, and Drew. Drew seems to be turning it around, but Crisp and Lugo just don't get on base enough. Now we are starting to see what can happens to a team with role players not contributing enough.
I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. But Texas is floundering and they seem to have talent that can help the sox.
