Lindy's pre-season baseball magazine is on newsstands. Here are some of its predictions:
American League East Central West Yankees Tigers Angels Rays Cleveland Rangers Red Sox Royals Mariners Blue Jays White Sox Athletics Orioles Twins Manager - Ned Yost, Royals MVP - Albert Pujols, Angels Cy Young - Jered Weaver, Angels Rookie - Matt Moore, Rays AL Wild Card - Rangers AL Pennant - Angels NL Divisions - Phillies, Reds, Giants NL Wild Card - Diamondbacks NL Pennant - PhilliesThe editors say that Boston's offense will keep the team in the race all season, but that beyond Josh Beckett and Jon Lester, the starting pitching is "sketchy".

Remember when everyone last year had the Sox winning 100 games? So being projected as third-place finishers two months before the season begins doesn't phase me. In fact, I'm predicting 100 wins and an AL East crown for Boston right now! Who's with me? ;-)
I'll go 95 and a Crown.
hmmm... W/L contest in the making, I see.
Sketchy, huh? Hard to refute analysis like that.
I'll take 97 wins and an ALE crown, thank you very little.
Sketchy, my ass. I am told Mr. Buchholz has cancelled his subscription to that particular periodical.
W/L contest in the making, I see.
It's coming!
98 wins, the east title, and World Champions. Then I'll have to like Valentine!
Would I be out of line predicting 100 wins and an AL East title? OK, 99 wins and an AL East title.
I like the optimism. However, I should point out that the Sox have finished at or below the lowest entry in the W-L contest for the last two seasons.
then a correction is in order, maybe 101 wins!
"..beyond Josh Beckett and Jon Lester, the starting pitching is "sketchy". "
Hmmm. What's the name of that magazine?
