I love this team. There hasn't been a baseball season I have been this excited for in a long time. I love the new rules. I love the additions to this year's team. I love what the future of the organization holds.
Watching Casas hit 440 foot bombs is my new favorite baseball thing.
Christian Arroyo is criminally unerrated, and will mash with health.
Enrique looks great at SS.
We get to watch Devers forever. I think he will be in the running for MVP this year.
Yoshida is a bargain.
Duvall kind of scares me on defense, but man when he hits the ball its goes really fast.
Verdugo is about to break out in a major way, with no shift.
McGuire, Wong and Alfaro? Sign me up.
Justin Turner is old, but man does he seem like an awesome teammate.
The rotation may not have a true ace, but I really think they are solid from 1 to 8 (once Whitlock, Bello and, fingers crossed, Paxton are healthy.
The bullpen could do for a little less Ort, but is still vastly improved (on paper).
Make no doubt about it, the AL East is the toughest division in baseball. All 5 teams would probably be favored to win either Central division.
But this Red Sox team is going to surprise people, because man they are going to be fun.
Back in September, many of us were lamenting the state of the Bruins, just hooing they could find a way to sneak into the playoffs for one last run with Bergeron.
This is different. This is the start of a new era. This is the year of Casas, Bello and Yoshida. The next couple years add Rafaela, Mayer, Yorke, Bleis, Mata and others.
But this team. This 2023 Red Sox team? I love this team.
Bring on Opening Day.
