Realistically, the 2013 Red Sox have just two strengths—bullpen and catching depth. Teams like Texas are looking at their bullpen for potential trades—although injuries to
Franklin Morales and
Craig Breslow are putting a damper on that speculation. Their catching situation has
Jarrod Saltalamacchia and
David Ross on the big club—with emergency contributions from
Mike Napoli. They also have
Ryan Lavarnway right on the cusp of the majors and at least
three talented prospects not far behind (
Blake Swihart,
Dan Butler and
Christian Vazquez). So, when
teams like the Angles are desperately seeking a trade for back-up catching, why aren't the Red Sox actively engaged? Earth to BenCher: improve this team!
