Sox Reinforcements?

The Sox pulled their best Adele impression on two consecutive days to beat the Mariners and the rain for their fourth and fifth straight wins.  Working at Fenway Park, you see and hear some weird stuff.  Today was one of the most interesting I've heard in a long while about the team.

"Nobody has reinforcements coming like we do."

A few regulars were talking baseball around the EMC Club, talking about how the team was really heating up, things were starting to turn around.  I mean, they're not wrong.  Jon Lester and Josh Beckett have shut everybody up in their last two outings (now, who knows what's in store next time out...), and the offense has found its stroke of late.  But back to that quote -- who are we talking about?

Jacoby Ellsbury was recently placed on the 60-day DL, meaning he won't be back til at least mid-June, if before the All-Star break at all.  Kevin Youkilis is no surprise to see on the DL, and will be starting a rehab stint today, Wednesday in Pawtucket... Cwhere he belongs.  Andrew Bailey won't be back til the back half of the season with a pitching thumb injury, hopefully replacing Alfredo Aceves, who, to his credit, has stopped giving Boston fans nightmares when he steps on the mound this season.

Carl Crawford is making his case better and better by the day for "Worst Free Agent Signing in History," although he has been at Fenway lately shagging flies and taking BP.  Bobby Jenks crashed into a car and drove away from a strip club named "Babes."  I'm all set with that one.

Darnell "Put The Team On My Back" McDonald will be back soon after a right oblique strain, adding to an already insanely good outfield.  And Daisuke Matsuzaka seems to be on the fast-track back, who honestly, I would welcome into the rotation.  So of those names, who do we want to see back?

I have finally bought a ticket on the Ellsbury train this season, picking him up on my fantasy team, and no longer ragging on him for dodging his team during his injury time two years ago.  The outfield with Ellsbury, Sweeney, Ross and Nava would be unstoppable (sorry, Darnell).  Bailey out of the bullpen would be awesome, since our regular bullpen guys pitch every single day, it seems.

I can do without Youkilis, without Jenks and even without Crawford at this point.  Selling high is out of the question, but let's at least get someone other than Marlon Byrd or Scott Podsednik, please?
