Article: Could the Red Sox Have the Best Lineup in the American League?

[Hugh2]

I think base case scenario the lineup is marginally better than last year.  Which if the defense and pitching can improve a little should be fine enough to make them a contender. 

Guys like Story and Casas who only got 94 and 212 at at bats could make the lineup look different if they are healthy this year.  And if any of the youngsters step up with Bregman added the lineup could look very different by the end of the year than what we saw last.

Best case?

I do think Casas and Story may be the keys, but we have a lot of other players and prospects that can take up the slack, and then some.

Base case, base. 

Best case would be Story Colorado shows up, Casas is a middle of the order bat, Bregman and Devers are all stars, Duran does not regress, Rafaela improves, and Campbell and Anthony are absolute studs.
