We're starting to get the feeling that once
Dave Dombrowski gets a notion in his head, it's hard to dislodge it. So, the trial balloon he sent up last week on the 'part-time' DH thing is likely to hold. And yet, alternatively, he has
another weird obsession with replacing
David Ortiz with a left-handed DH to "balance" the right-hand heavy lineup. He's all over the map. Of course, the latter obsession kind of limits the field to 40-year old
Carlos Beltran or former
Carmine Hosers Brandon Moss and
Josh Reddick. Frankly, none of these is particularly appealing to us. For almost a decade-and-a-half, the Red Sox have built their line-up around a classic slugger at DH. Doing a
'revolving' DH, or sticking a mediocre version of
Big Papi at
permanent DH are both unacceptable. In our view, the
best approach is spending some of
John Henry's limitless fortune on a real, full-time DH—lefty or righty.
