Are the Red Sox a World Series-caliber team?
Do you expect a Red Sox-Yankees ALCS? I don’t think there’s any question at all that this team can win the World Series. No question whatsoever. I think, I’ve felt like the last 10 years, the World Series goes through the American League Championship Series. I always looked at it kind of like you have the AFC and NFC Championship Games before the Super Bowl, and usually the two best teams are playing each other before the Super Bowl. Not to discredit the National League, but I don’t think there’s any team that can put the firepower offensively and on the mound that these two clubs can. Unless somebody flukes, and you get a hot [Justin] Verlander and Detroit rolls, I just can’t see Anaheim having the pitching to beat either one of these teams in the first round. The Yankees, if CC [Sabathia] and A.J. [Burnett] somehow get hot — I don’t think they will — they could steamroll. But I think it’s going to be a Red Sox-Yankees ALCS, and I think you’ll see a four games to one or four games to
