I don't think it's a jinx. The one thing that I think the Sox can improve upon maybe at the deadline is a bullpen reliever. I think Hermanson is still out and they could use another bullpen guy Logan is a rookie who before this season didn't pitch above single-a, Thorton has been inconsistent, and Politte hasn't been as effective as last season. They've traded away some top prospects in Young and Reed so I hope they don't consider giving away Sweeney or Owens but another reliever at the deadline would be a nice move. Detroit has played good ball so far but I don't know if they'll contend all year and I think the Indians will become the top contender for the sox in the central. Hunter owns the Sox though everytime I see him play against them he plays extremely well. I hope Buehrle is locked up long-term this offseason and Crede is locked up also. If Crede is locked up Josh Fields could be used as trade bait.
