The Sox have no shortstop, no center fielder, no first baseman, a brutal bullpen even with Seanez and a starting staff of a 43-year old disgruntled Wells, Shellshocked Clement (check his post-beaning stats) and two guys in Schilling and Beckett who may never start thirty games in a season again. Toss in a slightly depleted farm system and free agent class that limits their capacity for improvement and you have a team in trouble.

I think the Jays will win 89-91 games this year. I can't say that I feel the same about Boston. I don't think the Rocket will return, but that's the one possibility that nullifes everything.
