As reported on
ESPN.com,
projections by FanGraphs.com indicate that the Red Sox will win the American League East in 2016. The acquisitions of
David Price,
Craig Kimbrel,
Carson Smith and
Chris Young result in a win-loss projection of 92-70—
a 14-win improvement over the miserable 2015 season. Keep in mind that the same projection system had
The Carmine Hose winning the
2015 AL East, so let's not get
too excited (to paraphrase
Warner "The Wolf" Winston of
Pulp Fiction fame). Unfortunately, the projections put
The Evil Ones in second place—followed closely by last year's winner, the Toronto Blue Jays.
