    Too many question marks as they blew this team up and tried to patch it together.

    Manny wasn't happy making $18 mill playing on LA and Chicago, what's he gonna do playing in front of 10,000 people on most nights on a cheap $2 mill contract, sitting in the clubhouse all game.

    Longo won't have enough help to carry the team.

    Upton needs to get his head out of his

    I like their rotation but they need those young guys to step up and stay healthy, Shields was terrible last year, so he needs to have a year like Garza did last year, I don't see it.

    Their bullpen was their biggest advantage last year and just about everyone is gone.

    Pena & Bartlett were great in the field, and although Pena sucked last year at the plate, he still had some pop and Johnson is even worse.

    Their bench is really thin, they don't have the players to step in when they get hit with injuries.

    And their biggest question mark.....they replaced their best player with a washed up Johnny Damon.

    I think they have a shot for around 85 wins, but that won't be enough to win the East.

      Also Longoria isnt God. He's no better than the best hitter on most teams anyway.

          Guys I think this is just a good value play... I haven't played and I probably won't. I am too impatient to sit around and wait for the whole season to be played to cash out. But the Redsox are like a -165 favorite right?


          who knows what will happen but I think everyone except for the Orioles will be competitive this year.

            I am a rays fan....have been since day one. I will bet exactly zero (0) dollars on the rays this year. What a step backwards this team took in the off season. Does no one remember the "Hit Show"? Buying old bats doesn't work for this team. They needed pitching and instead of improving it they went after old bats. nice.

                How is +600ish good value when other posters are saying its around +1000 at good books?

                Also hilarious that you post this as "your pick" but once everyone cuts you the fukk up, you step back and say "GUYS GUYS DONT WORRY!! I HAVENT BET IT YET!! I WAS JUS SAYING IT GOOD VALUE!!"

                You got your face owned and now your BR is gonna pay.

                      If they couldve just re-signed ONE of their 3 major bullpen guys (Balfour, Soriano, Benoit) then I'd say their chances were slim.
