The article discusses the mixed prospects of the 2025 Red Sox, who currently sit at .500 despite talent in their roster. While the pitching staff shows signs of strength, led by Garrett Crochet and a reliable bullpen, the offense is underwhelming, with only a few players performing adequately. Trevor Story stands out as a vital contributor, but most of the lineup struggles significantly, raising concerns about the team's future performance and possible breakout. The author expresses skepticism over the optimistic outlook of the team's breakout potential based on current individual performances.
I would argue there are maybe four players in the lineup doing what they need to do. Trevor Story has been a revelation as a healthy shortstop, making great plays in the field and showcasing some pop.
The bullpen shone on Wednesday and has honestly been a consistent part of the roster this season so far, something I didn't' predict. They're even likely to get Liam Hendricks back for this upcoming series.
This team is FULL of talent. Garrett Crochet is a pig in the truest sense, looking like the ace the Red Sox have needed since the days of healthy Chris Sale in 2018.
Despite some ugly losses with double digit runs, it doesn't feel like the pitching is throwing up too many red flags for me at the moment.
