I was reviewing the predictions Bill James made on the Red Sox for the 2010 season. Overall, they offensively they seem pretty accurate. Obviously as a Red Sox fan I hope to see a bump up in production, especially from what he see in the 3 & 4 holes of the lineup.
On the pitching front, I think he is basically dead on in his predictions other then with John Lester. I see Lester having a much better season than his prediction from James. I also wouldn't worry to much about his win predictions as so many factors go into the a starting pitcher getting a victory.
Here are the predictions Bill James had made for the Red Sox in 2010:
Starting Lineup: (BA-HR-RBI/OPS)
1. Ellsbury .302-09- 62/.780
2. Pedroia .307-15-75/.843

4. Youk .289-23-95/.885
5. Ortiz .264-29-99/.887
6. Drew .269-22-76/.859
7. Cameron .237-23-74/.756
8. Beltre .269-17-68/.760
9. Scutaro .264-10-57/.728
