torn084 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 the sox have alot of potential this year, and could edge the yanks out if toronto doesnt do it. schill-beckett duo is an amazing combo. ortiz-ramirez remains a deadly combo. coco is gonna bust out this year, plus hes got the same name as a cereal. nixon will b an all-star. foulke will return to form. lowell's a bust, but that doesnt matter. gonzalez will prove something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Surprsingly, the Yanks fan may be overestimating the Sox. They do have great potential but everything has to work out. Hopefully, Manny's hamstring is 100% and Coc will fill in Damon fine. The bullpen is the only thing that worries me, because if Foulke stays the way he was in 2005, then who is there to replace him? Would Craig Hansen come up? btw Motes, is Coco the leadoff man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorfTVP Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'm not too worried about the bullpen...especially when you compare it to last years. With Wells staying, barring a trade, our bullpen will be Foulke-Timlin-Riske-Tavarez-Seanez-Arroyo-Papelbon...which would rank among one of the better bullpens in the game. If Foulke were to falter, Timlin would get the first shot at saves, but they like him in the setup role better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
