Five Questions

Asked at The Hardball Times. Ben Jacobs on the Red Sox:
1. Did Epstein find any huge bargains this off-season?
2. Is Boston's rotation a strength or a weakness?
3. So, is the bullpen going to be a problem at some point this year?
4. Can Boston's offense really be better this year than the last two seasons?
5. But are they built for success in the playoffs as well as they were last year?
Larry Mahnken on the Yankees:
1. What will Jason Giambi do?
2. Which Randy Johnson are the Yankees getting?
3. Can a team win with only two outfielders?
4. Tony Womack?!
5. Will the revamped bullpen be good enough?
Ben and Larry also write the Rivals In Exile column.

Here are some of THT's predictions:
