Still in fourth place, but man, these are good times for the Sox.
1. Playing the best baseball in the sport this month.
2. Have made up 7 games in the division standings the past 24 days.
3. Offense is performing like the best in baseball recently.
4. A bunch of guys really playing well - Wong, Casas, Devers, Yoshida, Duran, Turner, plus pitchers.
5. Lots of young studs really starting to come into their own - Wong, Casas, Devers (yes he's still young), Duran, Bello, Winckowski, Murphy
6. To point 5, the farm system is finally producing at the major league level
7. TONS of talent in the minors now, and they're making their way up. Like...this is super exciting.
8. Financially (from a payroll standpoint) they're going to be in very good shape.
9. Lots of reinforcements on the way soon - Sale, Houck (hopefully!), Whitlock, Story.
