I dunno, Boston seems like it is rebuilding, lost their manager, lost 2 vets (maybe more?). I don't expect them to do much. Toronto will be interesting to watch though. It's hard to say Carl Crayford will be able to repeat his years when he was on Tampa bay

The East would suck to play in this year, only one of them is going to make the playoffs because of how hard the division is and how weak the west is aside from the Angels and Rangers.



Only one? With the 2nd wild card, I'm betting there will be at least two.

For realzy, that second wildcard addition is going to make things pretty awesome I think

Boston lost 2 players that didn't play much, big deal. They will be fine.

Well they lost Wakefield (kinda sucked), Varitek (lol), and Papelbon (was actually good). Losing Papelbon might hurt. Also let's not forget they're getting Valentine as their manager, I suspect he might be worse than Francona was.

I just don't expect huge things, even though I do agree last season was just a fluke with all those injuries

Francona was good, Valentine isn't all that bad, he's just a blow-hard. Papelbon isn't that big of a deal...the bigger deal is Andrew Baily going on the 60 day DL which totally screws my fantasy team! G:LKAJSDF:LJ

I think only one playoff team out of the East because the division is too full of good teams. They are going to beat the crap out of each other. The other wildcard will come from the central or west.

Sox are gonna struggle to get over .500, i bet the jays finish ahead of em this year. Between their messy rotation, questionable bullpen, and injuries to bats, and joke of a manager, its gonna be a mess there this year. Rays take the division, Yanks finish a close second.

How does a major league team...lose to a college team and expect to be taken seriously?
