Not really. I didn't (and still don't) think they'd be great, but I allowed for the possibility that they might even get to .500. The point was that it still wouldn't be worth the money they wasted on Vlad, Lee and whomever else they signed to prop up a bad team to mediocre.
Now, if they're still playing anywhere near .667 ball in July, then I'll admit I underestimated them.
The Red Sox, OTOH, still will have starting pitching problems regardless of whether Lester, Buchholz, and Beckett start to pitch well. Dice-K, Lackey, Wakefield... they don't have a 4 or a 5, which was my point. And that's assuming Beckett can be somewhat consistently good. Otherwise, they've got 2 dependable starters.
