On the other side they absolutely fleeced the Cards yesterday!
Allan Craig is a steal!
Craig is one of the most clutch players in the game.
As a righty bat, playing in Fenway, him hitting 20-25 HR with 100 RBI's is more than a possibility, and Joe Kelly is a good, young, back of the rotation guy.
Throw in Cespedes and some of the thunder goes back into the SOX lineup.

I think the Sox fans' reaction is more about the emotion of saying goodbye to so many from last year's team, and particularly Lester, who grew up as a player here.
But I'm inclined to agree with the birthday boy, and I hope he's right.
