Beckett will have more wins then Dice-k and dice-k wont have that good of year if anything he will have a worse year because batters have seen him already

Lester Wake or Buchholz one if not more will have an ERA above 5

Batting stats look good

Manny's stats are low, Drew's should be higher. Youk's are low on the BA and the HR's. Lester should be better and Dice should be down, Beckett should get 2 more wins. Varitek, Lowell, Lugo, Ellsbury are pretty close.

I am worried about becketts back....

Lester has had some big control issues and in the AL east that will get u killed

Drew will be lucky to get those stats he is washed up

Youkilis isn’t really a power hitter and .284 seems like a good guess

Beckett will most likely miss a couple starts because of his back not to start the season but it will probably act up at some time but he shouldn’t have as many losses as Dice-K

As a unbiased party, I feel that these stats are too low. Manny will drive in 100 runs, thats a given, Drew will drive in over 60 runs, Youklis proved that he can put up better numbers, Beckett won't lose 8 games and only win 15, Dice will be around .500 but the other younger pitcher will be better (Buchholz, Lester)

No way Ortiz hits 40+ bombs or drives in 140. Maybe 35 and 120 rbis.
