Is the MASH Unit Better?

One of the Red Sox biggest questions going into Spring Training in 2009 is the return to health of several key starters.

- Is David Ortiz' wrist healed?

- Is Mike Lowell's hip healed?

- Is JD Drew's back healed?

We have seen how dominating all 3 players can be offensively. It would be nice to have a healthy 3-4-5 part of the order for the entire season.

The Sox did not added a big bat to the roster in the off season, so the pressure will be squarely on Ortiz, Lowell & Drew to return to 100 RBI status. If healthy, those 3 are as good a middle of the order as any in baseball.

I'm an optimist & think all 3 will have a great 2009.
