We can't be all doom and gloom during the holiday season, so let's ponder three ways in which the Red Sox could exceed our expectations next season.
But Jansen isn't the only addition. The Red Sox also signed former Dodgers right-hander Chris Martin, whose primary attribute -- which addresses a glaring weakness -- is that he doesn't walk anyone. Only Kansas City's relievers walked more batters in the American League last year than Boston's, but Martin throws strikes. He struck out 34 and walked just one with the Dodgers and gives Cora a proven arm for the eighth inning.
Regardless, the Red Sox understand they can't let another All-Star walk for nothing, and maybe their inability to land impact talent this winter will be the push they need to step up for Devers.Today's roster holes might actually be tomorrow's opportunities. Bloom's oft-stated goal is to build a self-sustainable winner, and the time has come to start seeing results.
Maybe they won't be alone. Top prospect Ceddanne Rafaela has Gold Glove potential in the outfield and an above-average glove at shortstop, too. The assumption is that he opens the season in Triple A, where he needs to improve his selectivity at the plate, but he's an electrifying athlete who could force the issue this spring.
