Fritz Maisel is the only Yankees plaer to ever steal 50 or more bases in a season yet fail to score 100 runs. He accomplished the feat twice: 1914 and 1915.

Right now it looks that way. The Red Sox are very deep this year.

Don't crown them yet!
A-Gon is a big addition, and I am not going to diminish his value, but let him prove his worth in the AL east first.
Lots more pressure now and they will pitch him different than in the NL.
The Crawford signing was one of Theo's worst.
He's a GOOD player, but a player who's main + attribute (speed) will be diminished playing left in Fenway.
Also if you watched any Red Sox baseball last year, the team MVP was Beltre!
Lester was brilliant last year and I thought Bucholtz was better, but he still hasn't pitched a full season.
Beckett is another year older and never made his money in the regular season.
And one of these years Papi won't be able to turn around his awful start.

As a Reds fan, trust me when I say that A-Gon is NOT a big addition. He'll be a headache for the fans most of the year. He could be a great player but is on the DL a lot, goes into big-time slumps and his range is overrated.

The Rod Sux are very deep every year . . . and we all know in what.

I wish Pettitte would make up his mind. Then there is only one hole to fill in the rotation.

1987 - Yankees signed Willie Randolph & Tommy John.
1998 - Yankees signed Darryl Strawberry.
2007 - Yankees signed Doug Mientkiewicz.

The Yankees are 'stepping up' their pursuit of Justin Duchscherer and still showing interest in Jeff Francis and Jeremy Bonderman.

Meanwhile Andy Favre.... I mean Andy Pettitte still has not decided if he will play or retire.
