Agreed. They're putting all of their eggs in one basket. The team is still a couple of years away from producing pitching IMO, so I would think the team would be pro-active in signing a guy like Montgomery to take some pressure off and another one-year arm to flip at the deadline. To see Breslow put all of his faith in Bloom's prospects is very interesting.

They have more depth but the high-end prospect ideas really fluctuate (which is totally fair!) I'm just down on this ownership group, they're not interested in trying all that hard at the moment. It would be a bloodbath in the division even if they did, but as they've chosen to essentially sit out the potential battle it just makes me sit on my hands as a fan in return.

One bright spot in the fangraphs rankings was Cedanne at #50 and Bleis at #71. So the have a few more eggs out there. 5 guys in the top 80 is something the Sox haven’t had Cherington was stocking the farm.
