i don't know if all that many players "underperformed" last year. i think papi is what he is now. ellsbury may never really pan out. tek is done. most players actually seemed to overperform last year. did anyone actually think pedroia was an mvp candidate at the start of last year or that lester would have a monster season? the only player who could probably turn things around would be beckett, but that's only if he can start to locate his offspeed pitches again.

With AJ and CC in NYC now does that make them the fav. in the east?
mvp 78 replied to cobra24's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
i'm not all that concerned about aj and cc. i think both are fairly hittable. sure, having a big lefty in yankee stadium used to be a huge plus but it really remains to be seen if it'll make a difference in the new ballpark. the bigger issue is if their younger talent can play up to their potential. if cano had a pedroia 08 season, i think we'd be in trouble. that might make a few people chuckle, but it's closer to reality than worrying about aj having a big impact next year. -
except that your numbers don't really show that. pitchers usually pitch better at home anyway and there are only 2 years above that have any red flags. peavy is a great pitcher and would easily be better than either beckett or dice k (unless beckett can regain his 07 form). however, is starting pitching really our biggest need? not at the moment. he's definitely more of a luxury item than anything else.

the new road uni's are great. it reminds me of being a young sox fan. i'm hoping that the wife will pick up a #14 for me for christmas... i never liked the newer road uni's anyway. the only thing i'd change on the road uni's is that the hanging sox logo is a bit large on the arms. when can we get the home '75 uni's as an alternate? i think they are really missing the boat on that one.
