Corey is a fill-in guy whose job is to make sure to eat up some innings that Okajima or Delcarmen would otherwise be taking. None of these guys have looked very sharp in the early going and this hopefully will not turn into a larger problem as the season progresses and people's arms start to get tired.
Overall:
The Red Sox are in good shape.
Matsuzaka is improving, Manny is hitting the ball like its the mid-90's again, and the team has been infused with a lot of young talent that shows the Red Sox will not slow down as the season and the years continue on.
No one is worried about David Ortiz, it is still April, and the big guy has been the model of consistent production for the past few years, and I don't expect anything less from him.
There is depth in the infield with Lowrie and Casey, and in the outfield with CoCo Crisp and possibly Brandon Moss for spells, and Mike Lowell should return in May to make the roster even deeper.
The three-game sweep of the Rangers wasn't incredibly impressive considering they were losing in 2 out of the 3. The Indians series was like this also, close games that could have gone either way. But good teams always win the close ones, or "find a way to win" as the old cliche would say, so I think the Red Sox will be in good shape
Also, keep in mind....
It's only April.
