If the Sox can get some "D" out of them, it will help. Owens biggest problem besides his hitting was that he threw like a girl. Both Wise and BA can bring it, which will make the Twinkies think twice about taking extra bases. It’s not so bad. If the Sox can get some “D” out of them, it will help.

It's fascinating how Kenny Williams is getting all kinds of kudos these days from sportswriters, and even among the stats guys, for beating out stats based predictions and thus seeming to have found a way to win the game through old-fashioned "talent evaluation." But count me as still being a hardened skeptic. I still think Williams totally lucked into a World Series in 2005 by having all of his pitchers toss career years. Hey, it can happen. But that doesn't mean it's not just dumb luck, especially when everything we know about baseball says that is exactly what it is. Extremely well said, Alejandro.

There is more good news, Contreras and Colon will start the season as the 4th and 5th starters. Alejandro, do you stand by your pick for the Sox to win the AL Central? It should be a bad division but the Sox look like a huge long shot.
