Rowand, Rowand, your boat?
The offensive production that Thome has provided has already proven to be a great trade. All that the Sox were asking from Anderson (in my opinion) was to bat around .250. Although Rowand was batting .287 around this time last year, Crede and Uribe were in the .250s. There was at least a balance of hitting.
I mean really, .158? They would be more patient with Anderson if he were batting around .200.
But keep in mind, I believe the Sox have lost more games because of their bullpen. I don't think Anderson's lack of hitting has cost the Sox any games (although he could have helped win a couple). KW will focus making the bullpen stronger first.
