I like the way he thinks

I'm not entirely sure how Dayn Perry reached this conclusion, but he's convinced the Red Sox are going to win the American League East this season. I like that kind of optimism, though I think battling Toronto for the wild card is a more likely scenario.

Then again, I have grown more optimistic about Boston's chances this year. The Red Sox made good moves to shore up the worst bullpen in baseball (picking up David Riske, Julian Tavarez and Rudy Seanez), and I'm very excited about having Coco Crisp in center field for the next few seasons.
