I agree. As much as I like seeing the Sox line up have some L/R
balance in it, it seems that there's a considerable lack of RH hitters
in the pipeline, at least in the prospects that we hear about.

I suppose it goes in trends. Obviously, I don't advocate drafting RH

hitters.

What it might mean is that the team may have to look toward free
agency or trades to fill the void.

Actually, they have a lack of hitters so this is good news no matter which
side of the plate they hit from.
