Closer  Rubby de la Rosa

For the Red Sox, 2012 was as embarrassing as 2011 was painful.
Boston lost 20 of its final 27 games in 2011, with the biggest September
collapse in baseball history taking the team from the American League's best
record to out of the playoffs. Two days after the season ended, the Red Sox
declined the option on the contract of Terry Francona, their most successful
manager ever. General manager Theo Epstein, the architect of the franchise's
first World Series championship teams since 1918, left to become the Cubs'
president of baseball operations in late October.
Senior vice president/assistant GM Ben Cherington took over for his former
boss. His first major task was to hire Francona's replacement, with Dale
Sveum as his top choice. But ownership declined to make an offer to Sveum,
who joined Epstein in Chicago, and pushed Bobby Valentine on Cherington.

Concerns that Valentine's outspoken personality wouldn't mesh well with a
veteran club quickly came true. He alienated many of his players by calling
out Mike Aviles during spring training and Kevin Youkilis in April. Four days
after Valentine left Jon Lester in to give up 11 runs to the Blue Jays on
July 22, players met with owner John Henry and president Larry Lucchino to
blast the manager.
At that point, the Red Sox were on the fringe of wild-card contention with a
49-50 record. When Boston dropped 16 of its next 27 games, ownership and
Cherington decided to blow up the roster.

The Red Sox shipped Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, who joined the club in
blockbuster moves three days apart in December 2010, to the Dodgers. World
Series hero-turned-malcontent Josh Beckett and Nick Punto also headed to Los
Angeles. Boston not only shed $261 million in salary commitments, but also
managed to acquire a pair of quality arms in Rubby de la Rosa and Allen
Webster, along with James Loney, Jerry Sands and Ivan DeJesus Jr.

While the trade gave the Red Sox much more flexibility for the future, it
destroyed their present. They won just nine of their last 36 games, finishing
at 69-93. Boston fired Valentine the day after the end of their worst season
since 1965, and traded Aviles to get manager John Farrell from the Blue Jays.
Farrell worked well with the Red Sox front office when he was the team's
pitching coach from 2007-10.

Farrell takes over a team that hasn't won a playoff game since 2008, its
longest drought in 15 years, and hasn't reached the postseason in the last
three seasons despite baseball's second-largest payroll during that time.
Both the rotation and the bullpen wilted in 2012, and the club's primary
focus this offseason will be rebuilding the pitching staff.

Young players did provide positive developments in Boston, with Will
Middlebrooks homering 15 times in 75 games and fellow rookie Felix Doubront
tying for the team lead with 11 victories. Down on the farm, shortstop Xander
Bogaerts continued to develop rapidly while several 2011 draft picks
(outfielder Jackie Bradley, righthander Matt Barnes, lefthander Henry Owens,
catcher Blake Swihart) provided intriguing early returns. Even so, the Red
Sox will need more than those youngsters to ease the pain and embarrassment
of the last two seasons.
