caulfield12 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If the Red Sox do win this series, we're probably sitting at 5th/6th in the American League as the team is currently constituted...assuming Rodon is gone. 1) Red Sox 2) Astros (lose Correa but get back Verlander, who knows what he'll have left in the tank, but never to be underestimated) 3) Rays 4) Yankees 5) Blue Jays/White Sox 7) Mariners/Angels 9) Tigers Guess it remains to be seen what happens with both Ray and Semien, Toronto's looking at a step back and obviously the margin of error in that AL East is so so thin with four really strong teams bunched together.

Their Ace was Verlander, until injury cost him and the Astros the entire season. They were also missing Zach Greinke, their number 3 behind Verlander and McCuller, and they were also without him in the playoffs beyond a couple of relief innings. Heading into 2022, both Verlander and Greinke are FAs. Astros have more flexibility than the White Sox ($92M vs. $109M) heading into this off-season, and an owner willing to consistently finish in the Top 9 of baseball in payroll.

kitekrazy Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) It wont bother me if Houston wins. It feels better getting beat by a team going to the World Series. Edited October 17, 2021 by kitekrazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems irrelevant to the fact that they’re a much lesser team this post season without McCullers… and our outlook against them without him is far different than what transpired.

I like Dusty. I want him to win a World Series. I think he's just a great character in the game and someone I've enjoyed following over the years. And the reasons his teams have lost have been unfairly blamed on him. The Marlins were a better team than the Cubs in 03. They won the World Series that year. And Baker was stuck with a crap bullpen and didn't have many options to turn to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quickest and most time-tested path to being wrong in sports is treating one season's postseason results as both definitive judgments on team quality, and perfectly predictive of the next season's team hierarchy. Yet sports conventional wisdom is built on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
