Red Sox Offense For 2007 Season Ready To Strike by Patrick Hickey Jr. |
| |
|
Despite winning 86 games last season, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein
knew that his team needed a bigger infusion of power and speed.
As much as the fans at Fenway respected the hard-working Alex
Gonzalez and loved long-time Red Sox outfielder Trot Nixon,
Epstein knew that in order for his team to get to the next level,
they needed more. |

Chicago Cubs Pitching Staff The Key To The Success For The 2007 Season by Patrick Hickey Jr. |
| |
|
Winning only 66 games last season, not many analysts and scouts
were happy with what they saw from the Chicago Cubs last season.
While they did have a better than average offensive team in 2006,
the pitching staff was a huge question mark. However, with the
recent additions of Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis on the team's
starting rotation and Lou Piniella behind the bench, the boys at
Wrigley may in fact be the sleeper team in the NL Central. |

year in a row, the Chicago Bulls knew they were still missing
