I predict it looks like we're losing the getaway day game through 7 or so, but then the Sox win it for us with one of the most confounding errors you've ever seen

I'm going to be worried about this more as we approach September. The operators affecting that opinion will be Buxton's sustained health, and Taylor's offense because with that number of Ks, a couple of dips could start looking kind of ugly. That said, his defense is such that we can sustain some sub-standard CF offense. My brother and I debated yesterday if Buxton might be playing CF in more meaningful games/playoffs to allow for a big bat at CF and DH where Taylor could be subbed in for someone defensively and move Buxton to DH?. I guess my fear would be getting him reps in CF while minimizing risk of injury. As others have noted, I'd suspect Baldelli is just happy to have the offense clicking and there's no reason to fix what ain't presently broke.
