Red Sox offseason moves

Last night I was at the BYU-TCU game. I was wearing my Red Sox sweatshirt. A guy sitting behind me said "The seasons over". I turned around and said "the seasons never over in Red Sox Nation"...I thought about that for a bit...The season doesn't really end. We're now in the "so-to-speak offseason" but this time of year is as important as any. This is the time of year when decisions are made to either bring players back or let them go. It's also the time to decide who will be be a good fit that would round out the team.

For the first time in forever I guess, I don't think the Red Sox have a lot of big needs. If they sign Mike Lowell the only thing I think we may address is adding depth to the bullpen. I think we need to get another lefty in the pen. We can't put a lot of innings on Oki going forward. He got a tired arm at the end of the year. We need to make him the lefty specialist facing a batter or two at most when he comes in.

I'm not a huge fan of the NBA anymore. After Bird left it has been hard to watch. Too many selfish players and not enough PASSING. I am however excited about the Celtics this year. I see a team willing to do anything. They are unselfish and doing all the little things. I'm tempted to bring out the "Celtic Pride" t-shirt.
