Boring Red Sox?
The Red Sox have figured out that the best way of getting through the always competitive AL East is to concentrate on defense this season. But will it be a one-off decision or a more permanent direction for the team? By adding Adrian Beltre, Marco Scutaro and Mike Cameron to a team not exactly lacking in defensive acumen (Kevin Youklis, Jacoby Ellsbury, J.D. Drew), Boston might end up with a scenario in which it grinds out wins playing hard defense. But this may elicit groans from the Fenway Park faithful, who demand to be entertained.
