The reason I pick the RedSox (other than the obvious) is that they are a bit younger (less injury risk imo) and have more depth/wiggle room for midseason adjustments.

A bit?

Avg age of Yankees: 30.9
Red Sox: 30.1

Here is where a team breaks down:
Pitching staffs
Yankees: 31.3
Red Sox: 29.7
Red Sox w/o David Wells: 29.1

That's a fair amount.

haha i knew that wouldn't be popular amongst you or even boris but hey the Rangers need a chance somehow [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

8/10th of a year is more than a 'bit'? TB's average age is 27 tor is 28.2, balt 28.8

i think 'bit' is a fair term when you put it in perspective [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm going with a dark horse here. They have a young explosive offense that seems to work in that park (865 total runs last year, 3rd in AL behind NYY & BOS), and finally have some resemblance of pitching with Eaton, Millwood, and Padilla. It's probably not enough to overcome the As and Halos, but it would be a hell of a story if it happened, and plus I could rub it in your faces come October [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
