Are the Red Sox as good as they look so far?

How you say that they don't have enough offense?  Ortiz and Manny will again be dominant.  Beckett and Schilling are lights out.  Their bullpen is solid.  AND, if rumors come true, Clemens would be the final piece of this team.  Even without him, I feel that the Sox are poised to stop the Yankees' run in the AL East.  They also have a great shot at taking the Series this year, too.

Anything is possible. They have a shot. Another team to look out for is the White Sox, last years World Series champions (It's like hell as a Cubs fan plus White Sox fans are super annoying without winning the World Series. I have to route for my home town, none the less). They average as a team batting .300 . That has to account for something. The Tigers are up now, but I predict the Sox getting their record back up. The funny thing is that the White Sox always lose to the worse teams (Cubs, D-Rays, Blue Jays).

Not very good.\n\nThe pitching staff is very nice w/ Clemens, Oswalt & Petitte.  The offense is 2 guys (Berkman & Ensberg).  They do not have enough offensive firepower to make a run this year.

Yes, I am concerned about when they plat the Tigers. I am a Red Sox fan, and while the Sox have enjoyed successful domination over the Tigers for a couple of years, this Tiger team is good and hard to beat. My prediction is they go all the way to win their division and get into the playoffs. How they will fare there depends on how healthy they remain and if they continue to get good pitching and timely hitting.\n\nGood luck!!

They're the champions until someone else takes them out.  They've got the best pitching staff in baseball, great hitting and fielding, plus they play smart baseball.  You don't see the White Sox pitchers throwing the ball into the 3rd base stands like the team on the North side.

They are a good team I like them alot but i also am a Cards fan so i look for there flaws.  other than Lee there outfield isnt that great.  also there corners are not that hot.  But some how with out Sheets they have started off 5-1 with todays lose.  Ohka is a very good pitcher and should look for him to end up the number 2 man by the end of the season.  But there bench is not that good and other than turnbow their bulpen is 3rd rate so look for them to come in a close 3rd place behind the Cards and Cubs

I think they will get into the playoffs, but by the wild card.  They have good new talent, but the team never really worked together, so they will not be too good at the beginning of the season, but will be great by the end to the season!  And I think that Brian Roberts will be able to play on opening day too!  I think that they will be able to beat the Red Sox, but probably not the Yankees with all their new talent :(:(:(:(:(:(!

The Yankees obviously have the best players, but if they are the best team still depends on if they can mesh.  I'd say them right now though, you can't go wrong saying so.

There is always hope every season. Just look at the Red Sox. Good luck.

I believe they have a very good chance. They were dominating the first part of the season with some excellent pitching and offense and defense. And don't worry, everybody has a slump, they bounce right back and get into the flow of things. So, yes, I believe they will make it int othe playoffs.

So far I give them an 8. hard to disagree with their record. They need to continue to pitch well, we already know they have a powerful offense.

They will struggle in their division. They have the defending champs and two other teams over 80 games won last season. Pudge will have another season past his prime, but Magglio Ordonez will be a solid pick up. Their starting pitchers are questionable, but I like Kenny Rogers, Jeremy Bonderman, and Nate Robinson combining for over 30 of their(here comes my prediction)78 wins this season. And 84 losses.

Well, there's 162 games in a season and your team looks stacked to me.  Delgado is warming up, Pudge started out well, Sheffield always takes a little time, Manny is getting hot....Pitching looks well rounded.  I would let it ride to be honest.  You'll win soon and I don't think you'll stop.

Yes, they have a good chance. Amaris Ramirez, Derrek Lee, and if Kerry Wood and Mark prior actually get healthy, there team is beastly. But remember, no one is guarenteed in playoffs. As you have probably heard millions of times already, its the hottest team that wins. But its true. Cardinals were the worst team going in. They won. Yanks were predicted everywhere to win. They lost in first round.

Unfortunately yes.  Since they acquired Leyland as manager they should do well.  I have to give credit to Detroit's GM and owner cuz they are giving him almost the same free reign to acquire the players that will play for "him" and fit his "strategy" just like Kenny Williams and Jerry Reinsdorf gave Ozzie!!!   As a complete DIE HARD White Sox fan and truly an American League baseball fan, I said to fellow fans that this year I am more concerned about D-troit that Cleveland or Minn. \n\nGO SOX!!!!!!!!!1

i do!!! because ever since they won the world series las tyear they thought that they would be unstopable. but as it turned out they weren't. i think anyone who thinks the white sox are the best isn't watching the other teams do better then them. white sox suck!!

that guy before me doesnt have a brain.  you bet they are legit but they were legit before the beat down.  tigers are teh best in baseball by far they are hot right now and they've been hot all year.
