And as a team they're third in runs in the AL behind the Yankees and Angels, so the lineup is still pretty respectable. When Martinez and Lowell is in the lineup, Drew hits eighth, so that's pretty deep. -- Matt

You can guess based on the result but you can be easily fooled. This Sox are doing OK with OPS. Two Sox are in the top 10 in the AL.
