I'm taking it you didn't take park effects into account then? FWIW I
think the Sox position depends a lot on the effectiveness of D-Lowe.
Last year he won 16 (?) games but his ERA was in the high 4's. I don't
think he'll get that kind of run support this year. Also the Marlins
trio, whilst being undoubtedly talented, have yet to prove their worth
in the regular season. Not to say they wont, merely that they haven't
yet. Therefore I'd be tempted to rank them as follows:

A's
Yanks
Sox
Marlins
Astros

Where's the guy that was claiming Philly had the best 1-2-3 in
baseball? Bring it.

Can a defensive upgrade at one position (even a middle infielder for an
extreme ground ball kinda guy like D Lowe) make *that* big a difference.

I'd be surprised.

30 year old pitcher posts ERA within 0.1 of his career ERA. Film at 11.
