The Red Sox hired a LOT of people this offseason... 8 to 10, at least. However, none of them are big names... the closest one to that is ooh, Chad Fox, Jason Giambi, Todd Walker, Ramiro Mendoza, and a whole lot of others... Ryan Rupe, Damian Jackson, Bronson Arroyo, and more... yeah, real big names here.
Has anyone even HEARD of any of them (or the rest of the new Red Sox I didn't mention here)? Other than Mendoza, that is...
Yeah, I sure have lots of confidence in this season after such quality pickups that teams like the Devil Rays (Rupe) didn't want them any more. Yup.
As for the Cubs... well, isn't being truly awful a tradition? I mean, the Red Sox may not have won since 1918, but at least they regularly field good teams...
