People, not you specifically, are always so sure that our competitors will get hot, but at the same time are sure that we won't. While it's possible for any of the teams to get hot, I like our chances as much as, if not more than, any of our competitors.
I asked in another thread if people would rather be in the Red Sox or the Yankees position going forward. That can be extended to any of the teams in our division. I would rather be where the Red Sox are going forward, warts and all, than be in other other AL East team's situation.
