    His bat wasn't slow last year in ST. His problem was recognizing the off-speed pitches.

    Remember my prediction. Pedroia will have more errors by the All Star break than Loretta had all of 2006. Pedroia's hands are not as good as Loretta's. The kid is strictly average at best.

    The bull pen has more problems. Timlin is still hurting. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6552340

    It is a close call offensively, but defensively Pedroia is by no stretch better than Loretta by the margin that Gonzo is better than Lugo. Part of the reason why balls went through the first/second base hole was because Youklis doesn't have much range. Offensively, the infield was weak last year and it will not be much better this year, if at all.

    Three runs allowed be Hansen on 3 hitts and a walk in his first outing. It could have been worse had it not been for the DP. Well, at least MDC had a good outing. Trade him before he wrecks his trade value.

    I think you are getting ahead of yourself. Two of the guys have never started in the majors over the course of a full season, so there is hope but no track record by which to judge. Beckett had a disappointing year last year, and while we are hoping he will turn himself around, we just don't know. Schilling is 40 and trying new pitches, and the knuckleballer is always a crap shoot. There are a number of "ifs" in this rotation. Going into the season, Detroit has a much more accomplished and reliable starting staff. They also have a strong pen and Boston's pen is very weak. Don't set yourself up for a big disappointment. Also, the IF is weaker this season from a defensive perspective, and it is about the same as it was last year offensively. The FO still has a lot of work to do to make this into a team built for October.

    The adjustment to LF in Fenway should not be a problem for a fielder of Drew's caliber.

    I think Bob Stanley had a better sinker.

    Good choice, but I remember when I was a kid I had this book that illustrated Spahn's pickoff move. It showed frame by fram how his motion to the plate and to first base was identical up to the final moment.

    Has anyone mentioned pickoff moves. I'd have to go with Warren Spahn on that.

    I thought we found out everyone's true age after 911... except for El Duque's

    Why would getting Ichiro necessitate keeping Ellsbury in the minors for three years? We only have Manny for one more year. After that, Drew could move to LF, Ichiro to RF and Ellsbury to CF.

    I think that the NL has more young bright stars than the AL, e.g. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Miggy Cabrera to mention a few. Pujols is still fairly young too.

    I'd have to go with Blyleven's curveball.

    First of all, I am glad that Hansen did not pitch and ruin his trade value. Second, it is common that the PA guys and score keepers in Fla mess things up. The guy in FT. Myers regularly announces changes an inning late. He was constantly mixing up Soto and Rodgers. The guy in Minnesota can't pronounce any of the visitors names etc. They are not very professional or diligent.

    But there is nothing between the East River and the Mississippi, so I am still correct.
