The pieces are falling in place slowly for us. Someone already mentioned Boston isn't as strong as the last few years, the Rays pitching staff is dropping like flies and at the same time our rotation is looking like a pleasant surprise.
Colby is starting to come around, now we just need Reyes back and Edwin to get going (just a matter of time). If we can avoid having too many major injuries I think we can be very competitive in this division.
Having Walktista circa 2010-11 kicking around won't hurt things either.
