The BoSox Injection staff shares their thoughts on if the Boston Red Sox will go over or under our predictions for the 2016 season.
What are your expectations for the Boston Red Sox in 2016?
Fans have an idea of the goals that they hope their team and its players can achieve. Some are more optimistic than others, while some aren’t shy about expressing their extreme pessimism over the outlook of certain players or the team in general.
The BoSox Injection staff has come up with a list of goals for this season and shared their thoughts about if we can expect them to go over those targets or fall under them. We start with perhaps the most important target of them all, which relates to where the Red Sox may end up in the standings this season.
Red Sox – 88 Wins
Sean Penney: Over – It’s going to take 90+ wins to top a competitive AL East division, which is a spot the Red Sox should challenge for. Even if they fall short of the division crown they will still be in the mix for a Wild Card spot, which could take around 88 wins.
Jorge Camargo: Over – I think the Red Sox have everything to at least win 90 games, but no more than that.
Drew Peabody: Over – Price will be the ace they are paying him to be and the bullpen will be lights out.
Rick McNair: Over – Look for 92 wins and a spot in the playoffs.
