The year 2015 has been a difficult one for the Boston Red Sox. They came into the season as a trendy pick to return to the top of the American League East following an offseason that saw them spend heavily on offensive upgrades, and mostly ignore the starting rotation in favour of lower-cost options and the future promise of a farm system likely to bear fruit on the pitching side in the near future. I myself was one of those people who picked the Sawx to win the AL East this year, thinking the offensive thump would allow them to outhit any struggles them might have on the run prevention side, and further believing the East was such an unbelievably mediocre (not to mention tightly bunched), division this year that it wouldn't take a huge win total to push into the playoffs.
Could -- or Should -- The Cardinals Have Interest in Ben Cherington?
