inkman, I think the Sox have a better rotation. The Yanks get the edge in the bullpen. They're both flawed and Toronto might be set to take advantage. Suggestion to Al East teams.......WIN YOUR DIVISION........no guarantees after that.
If Beckett pitches like last year, dice-k flops and Shill is as horrible as he was in his first start then the Sox ace is Tim Wakefield. Big trouble.
All the Yankees pitchers (outside of Wang and Rivera) could have ERA's over 6 and they could still win the division.
I also like the B-Jays (just wanted to say that) this year. I think their pitching is at least as good as Boston and their line up is way better, IMHO.
I think I really over valued the Red Sox offseason aquisitions. Dice-K could be the real deal but Lugo and Drew still have much to prove, at least to this Red Sox fan.
The bottom of the Red Sox order; Varitek, Crisp and Pedrioa could be really bad. Posada, Cano and Phillip/Meinkaweizc(sp) would probably be Boston's 5, 6 & 7.
It's one game in and I'm looking forward to next year which will probably be equally as bad or worse. Ugh!
