Sean McAdam is today's guest on projo SoxTalk with Art Martone. Click here to listen to the full audio file. He talks about the Red Sox' needs in today's MLB Draft, and also tries to put the the Red Sox' West Coast struggles into perspective.
On the losing streak: "I think it shows that this is not a great offensive team, at least not as the parts are currently performing, but I think we probably knew that a little bit. It seems unlikely that this is going to be a 900-run team the way they were from 2003 through 2005, and it's really sort of manifested itself the past few nights. ... I would say that it would be more alarming if their pitching were getting hit, but because it seems to be offensive-related, I think you can more easily write it off as the inevitable cold spot that this batting order seems bound to run into."
On where the Red Sox will be looking in the Draft: "Theo [Epstein] did say that even though they have restocked their inventory of young arms a lot in the last few years, with people like Buchholz and Bowden and others, that really you have to take as much pitching almost, or more pitching than you think you'll ever need, because you draft 10 of these guys and about two or three end up getting to the big leagues."
There's a lot more from Sean, on the Draft, in particular, so be sure to check out the audio.
