Red Sox still haven’t improved pitching staff

NASHVILLE — The Red Sox have filled a few holes in their offense during the Winter Meetings, which end Thursday, but there will be no more important job than trying to improve their pitching.

The teams that have put together solid if not superstar-laden lineups — such as the San Francisco Giants, who have won two World Series in the last three years — have extraordinary pitching to carry such a lineup.

Why does everyone quote "the expert" Scott Boras?  He is in this for one reason....to maximize the earnings of HIS players.  Of course he's going to emphasize the value of pitching and his valuable clients.  I do not want to read quotes by him.....it seems that the writers just fawn at his every statement (like David Petreus actually) when he should be considered for what he is - a very high priced Agent - that's it!
