Bugger. Was hoping on the Yanks. Guess we'll run another season with Gardner, Granderson and Curtis. I doubt Gardner will repeat last seasons stats though.

Mark.

20 million plus for a corner outfielder with little power doesnt seem to make much sense.

Looks like Christmas came early for Red Sox fans.

I am an O's fan... but you have to marvel at the Sox Lineup

LF Jacoby Ellsbury
2B Dustin Pedroia
1B Adrian Gonzalez
3B Kevin Youkilis
DH David Ortiz
RF J.D. Drew
CF Carl Crawford
C Jarrod Saltalamacchia
SS Marco Scutaro

I mean where the hell do you bat these guys???

Christmas indeed came early!!! Here are my thoughts on the lineup....

CF Jacoby Ellsbury
2B Dustin Pedroia
LF Carl Crawford
1B Adrian Gonzalez
3B Kevin Youkilis
DH David Ortiz
RF J.D. Drew
C Jarrod Saltalamacchia / Varitek
SS Marco Scutaro

I am loving this lineup....

Boston looks like they have really upgraded with Gonzales and Crawford. I'm not that impressed with their catching position, but the rest of their line up really looks formidable.

Here is my theory:

2b Dustin
Of Crawford
1b Gonzalez
DH Papi
3b Youk
Of Drew
SS Scutaro
C Russell Martin (My prediction is they sign him)
LF Ellsbury

They are stacked in rotation as well it looks like 2011 will be a huge year for them.

I think they overpaid for Crawford, hope he doesn't end being another J.D.Drew......The line up looks impressive, another solid catcher for insurance and hopefully the staring rotation stays healthy......I say if Dice-K and Papelbon don't produce we get rid of them quickly!

Thanks, Bobby

Looks like 2011 will be a rebuilding year for Tampa Bay????
