The Minny 2001 team is the team we best resemble.

 

Check out the links & the numbers. Their front 3 had numbers very similar to ours. Hernandez & Contreras have pitched better than Romero & Redman but there offense was better than ours. However; our RON numbers are better than there's. The bullpens were pretty even.

 

That team won 55 games before the break but then suffered injuries & what not & won only 30 games in the 2nd half. Hopefully we will remain healthy & not suffer that fate.

 

The pitching staff & defense is giving this team the opportunity to win but the offense is getting us the wins. No better stat to show this than RON.

2005 WSox .287A .323O .466S .790OPS vs Opp .221A .301O .300S .601OPS

 

That says it's all. Nearly a 200OPS edge with runners on. That's why were 16W-4L. Is that a house of cards? I doubt it. We have veteran players struggling (Koney, Dye, AJ, Rowand). They are far from their career avg's. Without quesiton we can expect the Opp #'s to go up as the season plays out but so should ours. The biggest question marks on the team (Pods, Uribe, Iggy, & Crede) are all producing. I don't expect them to finish over 300 but maybe 280. That will be fine when the big 4 get their avg's close to the same.

 

The Minny 2001 team didn't have a yearly MVP candidate coming off the DL to battle in the stretch drive. We do.
