100 Wins

My brother has the satellite TV package & we watched the broadcast of Comcast Sportsnet's Baseball Show from Fort Myers. I'd like to comment on a few of their comments.

1) Red Sox achieve 100 wins this season.

OK, it's possible if everything aligns correctly & the injury bug stays away. I hear J.D. Drew already has a hamstring pull.

If all the Sox pitchers have an average to above-average year, they should get close to 100 wins. Let's see how Beckett & Lackey bounce back.

2) J.D. Drew hits leadoff.

Sean McAdam is taking too many drugs. I heard this once before & it even sounds worse now. Drew may only play 80-90 games with Cameron & McDonald available against lefties. Let's not forget Drew's inability to stay healthy. I'm 100% against the idea.

3) Adrian Gonzalez is the real deal.

I agree 100%. I enjoy listening to every interview. He is very even-keeled, logical & very articulate. He remind me of a thinking-man's hitter - a la Ted Williams.

Spring Training never lacks for thoughts about players, coaches, lineups, etc. It just a fun time of year.
