Red Sox Outlook for 2007: The
Red Sox have made several moves in the off-season since the 2006
season ended. Gone are SS Alex Gonzalez, 2B Mark Loretta and
OF Trot Nixon who are replaced by 2B Dustin Pedroia, SS Julio Lugo
and OF J.D. Drew. Catcher Jason Varitek has a new swing
insisting that it will improve his performance after a horrible
season in 2006. And, everyone will be watching the Red Sox new
Japanese import - Daisuke Matsuzaka to see if he lives up to
his reputation as one of the world's best pitchers. For as much
commotion as the guy is causing, he'd better be the difference
maker. If he isn't, it could be the difference between baseball and
watching Harvard football in October for the Red Sox.
The
Red Sox will be chasing the
New York Yankees this season if their new additions and current
stars - Manny and Big Papi Ortiz falter during the season.
This year, the Sox will be playing most of the teams in the National
League West division including Barry Bond's
San Francisco Giants and traveling to
Arizona to beat up on Randy Johnson and his new
Diamondback's team. Also included in the 2007 schedule is
a big four game series against the American League Champion and
World Series Loser
Detroit Tigers. Here's hoping the Tiger's pitchers
are forced to field the ball and throw to first or third base during
the games! Several Red Sox players have a chance to
participate in the
2007 All-Star Game at AT&T Park in San Francisco on July 10th.
Based on preseason predictions, several players should have a great
chance at making it to this game. The league that wins the All
Star game will once again have home field advantage in this year's
World Series! Visit our sponsor
