The offense still is going to suck. They are woefully short on hitting to be contenders. It will be a disappointing season no matter who is the manager.
Not necessarily true: Eaton and Cabrera had good seasons. Awful starts across the board especially with these dudes hurt badly.
The Toddfather and Abreu are beasts.
Their catching combo is underrated as together they should be around 3 WAR.
Lawrie fits in well at 2b and is a good hitter (for a 2b). Very good defensively.
The Sox will be around 81-86 wins IMO barring enormous setbacks (either way.)
Their pitching staff will do work, especially if they can get Danks out of that rotation.
LaRoche at DH had an outlier season and will likely rebound to being a competent part of the lineup, and kill RHP as he always has. Dunn did the same thing.
A
vi (**** me for liking the guy) looks like a lost cause but may get a shot in RF unfortunately... Only 24 but... puke.
Saladino , meh. Career minor leaguer that fluked for a little bit in the majors.
Those are the scary parts of our lineup.
