Boston’s Bold Bets: Are They the Hidden Threat to AL East Dominance?
Roster:
Garret Crochet might still be the second-best pitcher in the American League. He was outstanding in his first Boston season. He will be the anchor of the rotation. Suarez and Gray give Boston a strong 1-3 that can rival most teams that are likely to reach the postseason. One of their strengths, that was an issue last year, is their starting depth. Boston has seven guys that likely would crack almost any rotation in the league. Their bullpen should be solid, especially if Aroldis Chapman can maintain his success from last season. Replacing Alex Bregman will be a challenge. From a hitting perspective, Contreras could replicate a lot of his production, but the intangibles are going to be difficult. The Red Sox are also pretty young in their infield. They have questions at second and third base. I’m not sold on Durbin being a great option, but he is at least young and has good potential. If Trevor Story can play a full year, and Jarren Duran replicate their success from last year, they might be fine. I’m most interested in seeing how Roman Anthony progresses after strong showings in his games last year.Â
