There's always next year
As the MLB season grinds to a halt for the Red Sox it is time to look to next year.  I am optimistic if our new management team can keep the talented young core together with some minor adjustments.

Yes, minor.

The young talent we are seeing at the end of the season is really coming together.This should be our starting lineup next year:

JB Jr in left, Betts in center, Castillo in right
Holt at third, Bogaerts at SS, Pedroia at 2nd, Shaw at first
Swihart and Vazquez behind the plate & Ramirez as DH

We should run with six starting pitchers trying not to name any one the 'Ace'
Bucholz, Owens, Rodriguez, Kelly, Porcello, Miley

Bullpen:
S. Wright, Workman, Barnes, Ogando, Machi, Tazawa, Uehara

This means we have gotten rid of Sandoval and Papi gets his 500 this year and retires.

I like this team.

Other than above, I would consider the following: packaging Sandoval (and Ramirez if needed) with Porcello and or Kelly to get an established #1 starter who is durable.  That would be good.
