What Hanley Ramirez, Pablo Sandoval Must Do to Erase 2015 Red Sox Nightmares

Nobody can say the Boston Red Sox are lacking in stars heading into 2016. To rise from the depths of the AL East, all they need is for their stars to live up to their track records.

Now for the part where we cast the ol' side-eye at Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval.

Signed for a combined $183 million last winter, their first season in Boston went...not great. FanGraphs says Ramirez and Sandoval combined for a minus-3.8 WAR, making them arguably definitely the worst tandem in Major League Baseball. That leaves the Red Sox no choice but to hope for the best.
