Personally, I think he might be bullish on Ortiz, and hopefully bearish on Lester and Lackey....and no player going over a hundy spot in RBI? That would be concerning, no matter how good the run prevention strategy pans out.
Apologies for the formatting difficulties, it's nearly midnight after a rough weekend...you understand....

Projected won loss 94-68.
Good enough? Or still not cutting it? In the AL East...it's questionable.

I would have serious concerns if those starting pitching numbers come true. I guess he's expecting the run prevention strategy to pay off when he projects 94 wins with some of those numbers.
If Dice-K comes through with his projected numbers then ok, but everyone else's are lower than I'm hoping for(except maybe Beckett)
Totally agree, that was one of my biggest issues with the projections....that and Ortiz hitting close to 35 taters again.
No reason to think that Lester, Lackey and Buchholz can't put up better numbers than he's projecting. Then again, we can't assume anything in Boston.
