more depth - higher upper end
Definitely a contender this year.
#2 - 4 of those pitchers missed significant time in the last year, making it very difficult to predict how well they’ll do this year
#3 - Again, the Sox have only focused on their rotation, not their lineup
But on the issue of health. If Story, Casas, Grissom are all healthy next year, the lineup changes dramatically too.
