Though the yanks have gotten RJ and will probably get Beltran I'm still not afraid of them. They will (if they land Beltran) have a good balanced line-up (3 righties, lefties, and 3 switch) and at least 8 of them can hit 20+ HR's next year (or so I hear).
The Sox have somewhat of the same balance with Tek, Bellhorn, and Bill Mueller switch hitting, Minky (if we keep him), Nixon, Damon, and Papi hittin lefty, Then Renteria, Manny, and Millar (if we keep him) batting righty. We will also have 7 players returning with at least 11+ in HR's not including Renteria.
As for pitching I am happy with our pick ups in Clement and Miller, both have talent. Clement, according to the new Bill James book, had 5 "Tough Losses" mostly because of the low run support and if you count those his record is 14- 8 not including the no decisions that when he left, left the cubs leading.
Miller can be excellent (2001, 2002) if he stays healthy and has a very good slider when his wind up is smooth.
I also like the Dave Roberts trade. Now we have an excellent bench with starting material in Payton.
