There’s no secret what the number one concern with the Red Sox is right now. It’s Matt Barnes and his massive struggles in the ninth inning. We won’t waste any time here and get right into it. This week’s question to the staff was simply: On a scale of 1-10, what is your comfort level with Barnes the rest of the season?

My comfort level with Barnes the rest of the way is at a six out of ten. He has a 6.30 ERA after the All-Star break, that’s not ideal. However, I don’t think it’s time for complete panic.
