The Red Sox have closed in on the one-quarter pole for the season with a litany of disappointments and a few surprises to somewhat offset the consternation of early season lethargy. The disappointment ledger is fairly simple to evaluate and the significant contributors are the rotation. If one abides by the adage that cream rises to the top the rotation will be of no concern providing the injured arms return.
Just who is the most valuable player for this point of the season? Certainly, this is not the best player award as Mookie Betts would easily collar that even with a slight downturn from 2018.
