Yeah, I can definitely agree with you, Quest. I think Lugo's days are pretty much numbered, which kind of sucks. He's a nice guy and all, but I truly think Lowrie and Pedroia could be the next Vizquel/Alomar type deal (for a comparison, at least) for the next 10 years. As for Beckett, I don't think he'll have any problems. I don't think he even had an injury, I wouldn't want to go on the Japan trip either if I were him. Lowell will have 15-20 HR's this year, but the 'clutchness' may be gone.

My real worry this year is Drew's health, Lugo not hitting .220, and Varitek's offense. Besides that I think we'll be fine.
