As I said its big. Boston has made a splash. I said on the last page, i just hope the lineup is to lefty heavy and the Yanks have 3 lefties to counter.

Good lineup though, at least 1-7.

:roll:

stupid dh....

9. Jacoby Ellsbury

Crawford shoudl lead off but will bat second.

My guess

Ellsbury
Crawrford
Pedroia
Gonzalez
Youklis
Ortiz
Drew
Scuturo
Salta...

I don't see any way they leave ellsbury in leadoff spot, push pedroia back to third and bat gonzalez fourth. Batting ninth Ellsburg will essentially be a second leadoff batter.

Crawford
Pedroia
Gonzalez
Youk

No? Hasn't Crawford hit 2nd pretty much his whole career though. I would imagine they keep him where he's comfortable.

I remember hearing that Crawford doesn't like to bat leadoff.

All I know is I can't wait to read Bill Simmons' article about Caaahhhuuul Crahhhhhfud. :roll:

Boston's offense is going to be better, but aren't they essentially replacing two good hitters with, well, two good hitters? (I mean, Carl Crawford obviously has more going for him than just his bat, but I'm just saying.)

Victor Martinez signed with Detroit and, if I'm not mistaken (and I could be), isn't Adrian Beltre now most likely going to leave?

Last season the Sox had the 2nd best offense in Baseball. They did lose Beltre and Vmart, but Crawford and Agone should be better, or at least equal.

Last year we had major injuries to CF, 1B, C, the other CF and 2B.

So even if we just remained as good as we were, we should be one of the best offenses in baseball. We had already lost Beltre and Vmart, so these acquisitions were just what we needed.
