It was Mark Bellhorn & Derek Lowe in 2004. It was Ellsbury, Pedroia & Youkilis in 2007. Who will emerge as this year's heroes during the 2008 playoffs? I have a few thoughts on this topic.
On the pitching side I look for Javy Lopez & Justin Masterson to get some key outs. Lopez may see lefty match-ups against Shone Figgins, Garrett Anderson & Mark Texeria. Masterson will need to neutralize righties Vlad Guerrero & Tori Hunter.
On the defensive side I look for subs Sean Casey & Mark Kotsay to play a key role at 1B & to contribute with RISP on offense. Jeff Bailey is another guy that is capable of a big pinch-hit at crucial points in games.
These are my 5 guys that I expect to contribute more than anticipated.
