The 3 P's: 2013 Red Sox

Projections, Predictions & Prophecies.

The Red Sox will go 82-80 - .506%

Which compared to 2012's 69-93 - .426%

Is a huge step up.

The Red Sox will have no league leader.

Ortiz: 28 HR, .300 ?

May not have a guy hitting over .300

David Ortiz .300

Jacoby Ellsbury .295

Dustin Pedroia .295

Ellsbury: 30 Steals?

Will not have a 30 Home Run Guy.

Mike Napoli 28

David Ortiz 26

Doubront: 12 Wins, 4.00 ERA?

These two will combine for almost 60 steals.

Shane Victorino 29

Jacoby Ellsbury 29

Pitching will be steady,

None will get 20 W's.

and Andrew Bailey may end 2013 as the Closer.

And the sell out streak will end in April 2013.

The Show 2013

Yep,
Man it took ages to download, thought i'd do it rather than wait up to 14 days for it.

McCutchen representing for the Pirates,
I like the game,
didn't play 12. Not liking the Astro's new logo design, or Youk in pinstripes,
However franchise with Boston?
First traded Lackey away with a scrub, for Melky Mesa, Eduardo Nunez & Kevin Youkilis.

Immediately trading Nunez away.

I've also a new book,
so stay tuned?

Cards That Capture #1 Cameron & Asdrubal

The second in this series,
#1 Here

2010 TOPPS UPDATE #US-142

MIKE CAMERON

What means it's spring? to me it's the first time you hear the crack of the bat, that sound where you know the ball has been drilled! 

Typical Topps flagship back, though I like the smile of Mike Cameron, damn those shades look cool.

2012 TOPPS SERIES 1 #130

ASDRUBAL CABRERA

Just look at the effort, whether he made the out or not it's the effort. It looks like the Venezuelan has been diving all over all game.

Back to the typical backs, of course Asdrubal has recorded an unassisted triple play.

Starting the 2012 season Youkilis was on pace to make his 1,000 appearance for the Bean Town ball club,

Some of Sox nation even hated it when he went to the Pale Hose.

I can't wait for the 1st game which is 1st April in the Bronx.

Here's what the Greek God of Walks did before he turned to the "Evil Empire"

I don't think Youkilis will celebrate a Home Run at Fenway whilst in pinstripes here's a quote from a few years ago.

"Sometimes this is more than a game, It's life, here in Boston"
