Boston Red Sox: How far they can go and why

The 2017 season so far for the Boston Red Sox can be considered good considering the current first place in the American League East with a record 54-43 with a 3 lead on Rays and 4.5 Yankees races. At the organic level the Massachusetts team has a fairly good advantage over the Yankees that despite the acquisition of 3B Todd Frazier by the White Sox still remain too dependent on Homerun as far as point productions are concerned, compared with the Rays that are a very good team very well Assembled despite the reduced budget with a leader who is Longoria and a number of good beaters and pitchers like Logan Morrison and Alex Cobb but who for a budget issue will hardly be able to acquire players before the trade deadline can improve them and make them a team title.

My projection for the Red Sox season is 94 wins and the leadership of the AL East, the main merit will be the attack he sees in the contact beatings such as Betts, Benintendi and Bradley's own strong point but that can also hurt To the opponents pitchers with power beats like Hanley Ramirez and Mitch Moreland. David Ortiz's retirement was not a big loss for the lineup from the point of view of production and the wrong purchase of Pablo Sandoval (now in minors) was overwhelmed by the emergence of promising young people like Benintendi, Betts, Bogaerts and Bradley Jr.

The bad note of the Red Sox is called rotation of starting pitchers except for the phenomenal Chris Sale since the pitch after winning CY Young last season is struggling and not much especially with the command of his fastball, Steven Wright who after last season Was considered a great pitcher on which we can count on the effectiveness of his Kunckleball this year with an ERA of over eight has been removed from rotation. While David Price has just come back from a long stop for injury and all Boston hopes he can stay healthy to give the boost needed for the Red Sox rotation to be able to compete even in postseason reasons why the front office a few weeks ago had signed the veteran Right pitcher Doug Fister has so far disappointed expectations with a record of 0-4 and an ERA of 7.89. The bullpen driven by a sensational Craig Kimbrel with a 1.32 ERA is behaving discreetly, especially if we count that it often happens that they have to get into the game well ahead of the classic seventh innings due to the performance of some players. Joe Kelly and Fernando Abad are experiencing a rebound this season in Boston's bullpen, former Cardinals recorded an excellent ERA of 1.49 a pair of fastball at 104 mph, while former Astros veteran with a 2.90 ERA is the best A specialist that Red Sox has against the bitter battles role that after the departure of Andrew Miller has struggled to find continuity.

Boston's front office will certainly not look and before the trade deadline, another couple of shots will be put to the test. The only unknown is the magnitude of these shots, they definitely need to see the non-existing Sandoval performance of a good 3B but also a good right forward with which to alternate the left, Salt, Price and Pomeranz in sight of the final fly.
