Last time we suited up for the Red Sox player power rankings, I noted that the Red Sox have the best offense in the American League. This time, it is my duty to inform you that the team currently has not only the best offense in the AL, it has the second-best offense in baseball’s Integrated Era (1947-present) . While that is fueled in part by the best-ever team batting average on balls in play (BABIP) and as such is not necessarily long for this world, it’s important context for what the team is doing right now. With the back end of the rotation still creaky, the offense is propping up the team. Hopefully the team’s brain trust can figure out the proper plan for the starting pitching before the bats cool off.
