There's no reason to get in a fit with these projections. BP, along with many other publications, and tv analysts will make their projections. The Sox historically have not gotten respect from the national and local media as well as about half the city itself. It doesn't bother me. I have been fortunate to be watching meaningful September baseball nearly every season since I have started watching the Sox (around '93) and I expect that to continue this year. Remember, you only need to be the #5 seed to get in.

It's so hard to go into the season thinking that way though, especially when there's teams like LAA, Texas, and Oakland getting 18 games apiece against the Astros.

Yeah, they could be pretty bad. But even last year they weren't Astros bad. And a lot of people, for whatever reason, think they improved a bunch. I don't agree with them all that much. But I'd rather play the Astros than the Twins. And it isn't close. You might see baseball's first in division season sweep. They are REALLY bad.

Those two teams that won their divisions did so with players not projected on the Major League roster though. And while you can say that any team has that potential, I don't think I'm going on a limb by saying there are no players in our minor leagues that will be ready this year to be impact players. |

Not Coop'll fix him, but that they (pitcher's arms, anyway) were never broken in the first place because of him!
