Sometimes you can improve your team by way of addition by subtraction. This year’s Red Sox are in this situation in 2009. We have a great bullpen and an excess of starting pitching and more real glaring needs except for a little more power off the bench. To get to that you need to either make a trade or promote from within. The latter is something that this organization is very good at doing these days under this management team. They have one of the best farm systems in baseball and may have a few chips on the big league roster that they might be able to move.
