2018 Series #7 | Indians @ Orioles | April 20th, 21st, 22nd & 23rd

I would have never guessed the Red Sox would be so good this year. We'll see if they fall back down to earth (obviously to some extent, they will) or if they end up being a total juggernaut. The AL is going to be tough, tough, tough.

I think the Red Sox are for real. They won 93 last year with mediocre/bad years from Betts, Bogaerts, Porcello, and Hanley while also losing Price for most the the second half. So far all of those players look great (Bogaerts is on the DL). Benintendi & Devers continue to develop, they added JD Martinez, have a legitimate ace, and arguably the best closer in baseball.

Scary team if they stay healthy

Pretty sure AZ scoffed at me for wanting JD last year.

Yet somehow he didn't make the starting rotation last postseason.

 

[Stark]

Looks like we can reliably count on Kluber, Carrasco, Bauer, and Clevinger this season. Hopefully they all can stay healthy and we can get one more semi-reliable guy out of one of Salazar, Tomlin, Merritt, or whoever else.

 

[MGMT]

Is Salazar gonna get another look as a starter at this point? What are the thoughts, if any? I don’t see how he wouldn’t but I know less than our insightful crew

I'd probably look to move Salazar for a young team controlled bat for a team starving for pitching.

Haven't looked around the league for such a fit, but with our abundance of excellent pitching and Salazar's injury history I'd see if someone would bite
