EDIT: This was originally from the HOF thread. Moondog and I were talking a bit about the 87 Red Sox which ultimately turned into a spring board for what happened to Rich Gedman. I always thought that this was an interesting mystery, so I dragged it out of the HOF discussion and brought it here.
Anyone have any ideas?
1987 Red Sox.
It was a very bad team. Though, much like 2015, the Kiddie Korps made the end of the year fun. Burks, Greenwell, Benzinger, Horn and Marzano. Five future Hall of Famers!

Because Roger Clemens couldn't pitch every day. Did you see the staff that year? It was a disgrace. Tom Bolton had the second-best ERA on the team at 4.38. Everyone else was over 4.40.Man, from the years that Evans, Boggs, Greenwell, Rice, and Clemens had, how on earth did the Sox only win 78 games and finish 5th out of 7 that year? Pythag 83-79. Yikes, talk about a stars-and-scrubs roster.
