DHL Dan LXXXII - Familiar With The Subject Matter

Shank's first subject in his most recent Picked Up Pieces column is one that's near and dear to his heart:
Red Sox seem a bit arrogant with this bullpen issue, and other thoughts

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Picked-up pieces from another 10 days hunkered down in the Fort . . .

■ The Red Sox are a wagon. They have 22 of 25 players back from a 119-win season. They have the best starting staff in baseball. They will score a ton of runs. Most of the competition in the American League stinks. The Sox are going to make the playoffs, even if everything goes wrong. They are vulnerable in only one area, and we all know what that is . . . the bullpen.

The bullpen wasn’t great last season, but Craig Kimbrel was out there, and so was hot-and-cold Joe Kelly. Now both are gone and the Sox have not addressed this area.
From there, Shank goes on to complain more about the bullpen situation, and a few others. But you probably knew that already.
