What is with the Sox?

So what is with the Red Sox? Everyone is getting all these new young players, all the big hitters and the Sox have just been working on their bullpen! I know the Red Sox had a pretty bad bullpen to start the 08 season but Masterson came through for us and Okajima pitched well towards the end of the season. And what’s with the catcher situation is Varitek going to sign or not, he’s a great catcher but offensively he is basically an automatic out. The Red Sox should keep him for a few more years so he can train someone to be a replacement. I don’t want to get any hopes up, but I’ve heard that the Red Sox are interested in acquiring Hanley Ramirez who is the hitter the Red Sox need; he’s a big homerun guy who can guarantee about 30 homeruns a year and can also steal bases once he gets on. Well the season is only four months away so I guess we’ll see then. Also the opening game is going to be a big one as the Red Sox face their postseason rivals the Rays (I still call them the devil rays) in Fenway.
