The Red Sox added two pieces – Carl Crawford and Adrian G.

Now lets assume Adrian replaces Manny’s numbers. The Sox won the WS twice in Manny’s 8 year Career in Boston (not complaining but just a fact). Ortiz is older. The Sox on paper look great but lets make sure the chemistry is there. Papelbon will likely not be the closer come 8/1.

So are we saying that Carl Crawford makes them unbeatable. Carl’s not closing, Carl’s not helping Beckett with those hanging sliders, Carl’s not Jarrod Saltamachia’s personal tutor…

And all those years that the Yanks were predicted to win a WS, the Sox prevailed a couple times. The Sox will make the playoffs but thats half the battle…

We’ll see
