Despite all of the trade talk about Manny what the team needs right now is pitching. There is not a trade that is going to make the Sox better without Manny, unless he tanks the rest of the season. His lack of hustle yesterday down the line was pretty weak but not exactly a sign that he was tanking, especially since he hit well the two previous nights. He will continue to produce for this season. Theo knows what is good for the Sox and he is looking for help in the pen. By the deadline the Sox will have acquired one of the following players: Ron Mahay from KC, Huston Street from Oakland, or Will Ohman of the Braves. If they don’t go out and get some help for the pen I don’t see this team repeating as champs.
