00:00The Boston Red Sox, we talked about the Yankees and the Orioles and keep in mind again, price
00:04points matter plus 280 as that number to win the division for the Orioles, the same identical
00:08number right now with the Boston Red Sox.
00:10I take a look at that lineup, Duran, Devers, Bregman, Costa, Story, Abreu, Wong, Hamilton
00:15and Rafaela.
00:16I love it.
00:17I look at that and I get excited even if Rafael Devers wasn't excited that Alex Bregman came
00:21to town, loves his bat, doesn't like his position.
00:24What's the outlook for us for the Boston Red Sox?
00:26Because for me, legitimate chances for me, they can win this division, Tom.
00:30Are you telling me no?
00:31What are you telling me?
00:32I'm saying that this is probably the best the Red Sox have looked in three seasons,
00:37four seasons like this.
00:38Things are pointing up and the pitching staff has been the issue for the Red Sox over the
00:43past few years.
00:44They've, you know, kind of remedied that, bringing in Crochet, signing Walker, Buehler.
00:48I think those are great moves.
00:49The top of the lineup is awesome.
00:51The point of concern of like, we're going to poke holes in every team, what they do
00:54well, what they don't do well, would be some of those young, talented players, Campbell
00:58and Rafaela.
00:59Will they develop?
01:00Will Trevor Story stay healthy?
01:02Because obviously he hasn't in the past few years.
01:04What will the dynamic, the top of the lineup look at?
01:06Because, you know, I am personally, I think Duran is a player that you can trust kind
01:10of day in and day out for total base props.
01:12He can steal bases.
01:14I think he's up there to be one of the top 10 in the league when it comes to total hits,
01:17which is a bet that I always like.
01:20They have the power.
01:21Casas has plenty of power as a lefty.
01:23The bottom portion of the lineup, I think, needs to develop.
01:25But I think, again, kind of like the Yankees, if those players do develop, the top of the
01:28lineup can kind of carry things, plus the improvements they have in the pitching staff
01:32with a bona fide ace or assumed ace with Garrett Crochet, they have the pieces that you want.
01:37And again, earlier in the offseason, they were seeing about four, four and a half to
01:40one to win the division.
01:41And then the injuries hit the Yankees.
01:42So if you like the Red Sox, I think the time to strike, even though the numbers move, is
01:46now before they get off to a hot start, because it's not going to stay there.
