Me thinks Fury would like this lineup better:

Alex Rios - If only.  Well, maybe not.  Even if the Sox found a way to get rid of the prohibitively expensive Rios, it would leave them with an outfield of Viciedo, Quentin, and aging Pierre in center.  In other words, they'd need to score 10 runs a game.

They might.

But I already said I like the idea of cutting loose both Quentin and Pierre (agreeing with the ISF proposal).  And Rios is worthless, get rid of him too.

Of course, you'd like an outfield that doesn't generate any RBIs at all.   In your perfect world, the Sox would win every game 1-0 via a balk, steal of second, hit batter, and passed ball.

My guess is you'd prefer the solo HR.  ;D ;D ;D

Nope, the three-run shot, with a couple of RBI doubles and maybe a triple thrown in too.  I like games that end 6-1 or maybe 10-4.

Well right now nobody is hitting so like were Viciedo brought up all his hits would be solos, there would be nobody to drive in. And those scores would be the opposition scoring all the runs. See, the pitching staff has to give up at least 5 runs/game.

The Sox pitching has been decent, overall.  So, expanding on your theory that no one else will get on base and that Viciedo will only hit solo shots, I'd say we have a decent chance of winning quite a few games 3-1 or 3-2, with Viciedo going 3 for 4 in each game.  We might win some extra-inning games 4-3 too.   ;)

3-4? Sheesh! I hope you are aware that his turn at bat only comes after 8 other players bat. If he follows Dunn or some of the other duds nobody will be on base.
