NFL Preview of the 2011-2012 season

Early Christmas for Red Sox fans
Last week at the Winter Meetings Theo Epstein proved to the rest of baseball why he is so beloved in Boston. He took the Red Sox from potentially being in the
worse shape for over 10 years, after losing Victor Martinez and Adrian Beltre, to being the team to beat in baseball, at least according to John Kruk and Buster Olney. I for one still believe that we're a couple good relievers short of a world
series win but the offseason is far from over.
The Adrian Gonzalez deal is great for the Red Sox. It gets rid of the heartbreak over losing Mark Teixeira. Frankly A-Gonz is a lot like Mark Teixeira, he's young, good defensively, hits for average and power. Best of all is that A-Gonz wanted to play for the Red Sox, something that money honestly can't buy. While giving up Casey Kelly, a possible future all-star, for A-Gonz hurts, the fact is we didn't have to give up Kalish or Iglesias, both players that will probably be starting next year. Also for the see-able future, and likely the rest of Youk's career he can be confident that he will be at third base, which hopefully will get his average back up to MVP numbers. A lot of people have complained that the Red Sox have too many lefties and that will make them susceptible to left handed pitchers. Well you can subtract Gonzalez from that list, he hits just as well against lefties as he does righties, batting .337 against left-handed pitchers last year. Best of all, A-Gonz was the best clutch-hitter in the league last year, hitting .407 with runners in scoring position.After acquiring Gonzalez, Theo did not stop and
went straight for Carl Crawford. A move that not many Red Sox fans thought would happen. Crawford is a left-fielder that the Red Sox need since we lost Jason Bay to the Mets. In fact I will say that Crawford is better than Jason Bay, while he doesn't hit for nearly as much power he brings speed, something the Red Sox definitely need. He also brings youth, a strong work-ethic, and he is a great defensive fielder, arguably giving the Red Sox the best defensive outfield in baseball. One of the best things about Crawford is that he's played in the AL East his whole career, he's familiar with our club and all the others, although considering the recent mass exodus, probably less familiar with the Rays now. He is susceptible to left handed pitchers only hitting a .256 against them last year. But against the Yankees he's a lot better, in the past 2 years, the best of his career, he batted a .315, that includes excellent averages against their best lefties, .345 against Sabathia and a .438 against Pettitte. In their stadium he went .350 last year, and in Fenway he had a .324 average. Once again Crawford is a great clutch hitter, hitting .359 with runners in scoring position last year. For Crawford I think the best thing is that he's in a town that cares about baseball, unlike in Tampa where they would struggle to sell out crowds even when they were on top of the AL East. Plus he's with a club that has commitment to being a contender, year in and year out.As I said before, the offseason is far from over and the Red Sox are far from done. The Red Sox still need to shore up the bullpen if they plan to make a run at the World Series, and it seems like Theo has confidence that Young will help revitalize Lackey, Beckett, and Dice-K. Here are the targets I expect the Red Sox to go after and the likely-hood that they will sign them.
Likely acquisitions:
Left-Handed Relief Pitcher Brian Fuentes


He's a little older than we're use to seeing Theo go after but at age 35 he had a 2.81 ERA, held opposing batters to an .181 average, and had a WHIP of 1.063. He played for both the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Minnesota Twins and a year ago got 48 saves as a closer for the Angels.
Right-Handed Relief Pitcher Matt Guerrier
He's 32, which means he still has a good 3-4 years left, played with the Twins
He's 32, which means he still has a good 3-4 years left, played with the Twins
also, he appears to be the Red Sox most serious target as a reliever. He had a
3.17 ERA, with opposing hitters hitting a .219 against him. He had a WHIP of 1.099.
Right-Handed Relief Pitcher Jesse Crain
This 29 yr old is young enough for the Red Sox to show a good amount of interest in him, and yes he also played with the twins. He had a 3.04 ERA and held
This 29 yr old is young enough for the Red Sox to show a good amount of interest in him, and yes he also played with the twins. He had a 3.04 ERA and held
opposing batters to a batting average of .215. He had the highest WHIP of the
three with a 1.174.
Catcher Russel Martin
The once beloved catcher of the Los Angeles Dodgers, he had a promising season in '07 but since then injuries have plagued his career. That being said he earned a gold glove for a reason, and at the age of 27 he can perhaps get back to form. Last year he batted .248 in 97 games last season, but in '07 he did bat a .298 and get a gold glove, likely the
Red Sox are betting on him returning to that form.
Left-handed Relief Pitcher Hideki Okajima
Fans of the BoSox are familiar with this lefty from Japan. Okajima for years has served the Fenway faithful well...until last year. When he uncharacteristically had an ERA of 4.50 and a whip of 1.72. That being said, it was uncharacteristic and the Red Sox have been burned on giving up on players after one bad season, I think with a new pitching coach it's likely we give Okajima a second chance.

Unlikely acquisitions:
Right-handed Right Fielder Magglio Ordonez
Now I know he is old, at 36, and far past his prime, but so is Cameron, and the Red Sox have tried to get Ordonez in the past, and if they were to acquire him that would give them a right-handed bat. In 2010 with the Detroit Tigers he batted a .303, with 12 home runs and 59 RBI in 84 games. Acquiring Ordonez gives the Red Sox the

chance to trade Cameron.
Right-handed Starting Pitcher Matt Garza
Word on the street is that the Tampa Bay Rays are shopping around Matt Garza. With the Red Sox potentially in need of a starting pitcher after three iffy performances from Beckett, Lackey, and Dice-K. The 27 yr old pitcher is right down the Red Sox alley, young and a great player. Last year Garza went 15-10 with 150 Ks and a 3.91 ERA. Also the acquisition of Crawford and the familiarity with the AL East should make the Red Sox a potential destination for the young pitcher.
Right-handed Closing Pitcher Rafael Soriano
A free agent this offseason, Soriano is an excellent pitcher, at the age of 30 he still has a good half a decade left of gas in the tank minimum and the Red Sox could see him as a closing pitcher or even a set-up man alongside Bard, we've done it before with other closers so it's not beyond our likelihood and having a plethora of closing style talent is never a bad thing.

Now when the next season starts the Red Sox will need a new line-up to go along with the new offense firepower, heres the line-up I think is best for the Red Sox next year:
1. Jacoby Ellsbury

4. Adrian Gonzalez
5. David Ortiz
6. Dustin Pedroia
7. J.D. Drew
8. Salty/Varitek/Martin(?)
9. Scutaro/Lowrie/Iglesias
Some may think putting Youk at third after his last season is a bad idea but I see cradling A-Gonz with two good hitters a good idea, it makes teams more likely to be aggressive with Youk and Ortiz, an option that in the past, has burned them, see 2007, 2008. I see Gonzalez as a great way to boost the remainder of Papi's career. Also considering A-Gonz's pension for hitting with RISP and Youks' pension for doing so every year before last 4th for A-Gonz gives him the best chance to get the most RBI and to be honest 2-6 can be shifted around and any order and still give the Red Sox the best line-up in Baseball. The best thing about the signings however is what it brings to baseball. A recent poll by ESPN list 73% of the baseball viewing public as routing either for the Red Sox or the Yankees. This means that when the rivalry between the two is at a year-by-year peak, all of baseball profits.

NFL Expansion
So the NFL is going to expand to 18 games, everyone knows that. The NFLPA is trying to make the best of the situation and avoid a 2011 holdout. I think though that we need more teams to go along with this buyout. I'm generally in favor with adding more teams and I think I've come up with a system that would work.
The NFL is currently pretty balanced overall. 4 teams in each division, so you'd want to add 8 teams overall, but you wouldn't be able to do that in a year, there simply isn't enough talent. However the NFL has added two teams before in a single season. So it'd be a good idea to start there.

In the first year I think it'd be best to add teams in the East first. While LA has been clamoring for a team for years now, the overall eastern market is more productive dollars-wise and generally the teams preform better.
In the NFC East I think the ideal location would be in Boston. Despite having the Patriots a short drive away, Boston would still like it's own football team, almost as much as LA wants it's own team. I think a good team name would be Boston Football Celtics, with the colours of Irish green, white, and orange. Also it's probably likely that the New England Sports Ventures group, that owns both the Red Sox and the Liverpool Football Club, would be interested in owning a Boston Football team.
In the AFC East I think that Virginia has been asking for a team for a while. A state enriched in American Tradition and History, and with a fairly large population but no sports teams. Considering their ties to great generals of the American past and that the Founding Fathers would be far to close to the Patriots, I think the Virginian Generals would be the best idea for a team name, with Richmond as the location. I think good colours for the teams would be a Navy Blue and Gold.
Then after a two year period would've passed I think you then add the teams for the West. Los Angeles clearly being the ideal choice for the NFC West. With LA's proximity to water and the fact that it's been an oft-rumoured name for other teams I think the LA Sharks would be a great name for this team. With a Deep Blue and Seafoam Green for the colour scheme.
For the AFC West another possible location would be Las Vegas, there would probably be lots of Casino owners interested in opening up such a team so you'd have plenty of support for ownership and the Casinos would certainly draw in people to the stands. I think given the sinful nature of the city that the Las Vegas Vices is a good name for such a team. I'm not quite as confident in the colour scheme for this team, but Green, Gold, and desert brown comes to mind.
Again following the same two year system and this time going to the Northern Divisions. Being that we're going to the AFC North, might as well visit our northern neighbors in Canada. A great location for a football team, as shown by their interest in the Bills, would be Toronto. And being that their a symbol of Canadian pride the Toronto Mounties would be a great name with a red, navy blue, and gold colour scheme.
For the NFC North I think a good location for a football team would be in Lincoln, Nebraska. Also a good name I think for the team would be the Twisters, considering their location in the tornado valley. Not really sure of a good colour scheme for the team though, maybe a dark grey and blue?
Finally we finish in the South two years later. Now some people may consider this risky because of the current drug problems in Mexico but there is a call for an American Football team in Mexico, and Mexico City is a great location. I think a good name would be the Mexico City Bandidos, with a green, red, and silver colour schematic.
And in the AFC South I think Huntsville or Birmingham, Alabama would be a great location. Everyone knows the love that Alabama has for the University of Alabama, so a football team would be sure to draw in the crowds. I think a great name would be the Alabama Mountain Lions, with a light brown and red colour schematic.
How the new divisions would look:
AFC East:
New England Patriots
New York Jets

Again following the same two year system and this time going to the Northern Divisions. Being that we're going to the AFC North, might as well visit our northern neighbors in Canada. A great location for a football team, as shown by their interest in the Bills, would be Toronto. And being that their a symbol of Canadian pride the Toronto Mounties would be a great name with a red, navy blue, and gold colour scheme.
For the NFC North I think a good location for a football team would be in Lincoln, Nebraska. Also a good name I think for the team would be the Twisters, considering their location in the tornado valley. Not really sure of a good colour scheme for the team though, maybe a dark grey and blue?
Finally we finish in the South two years later. Now some people may consider this risky because of the current drug problems in Mexico but there is a call for an American Football team in Mexico, and Mexico City is a great location. I think a good name would be the Mexico City Bandidos, with a green, red, and silver colour schematic.
And in the AFC South I think Huntsville or Birmingham, Alabama would be a great location. Everyone knows the love that Alabama has for the University of Alabama, so a football team would be sure to draw in the crowds. I think a great name would be the Alabama Mountain Lions, with a light brown and red colour schematic.

AFC East:
New England Patriots
New York Jets
Miami Dolphins
Buffalo Bills
Virginia Generals

How would you reorganize the MLB?
Well the MLB PA has said they are considering expanding playoffs. I support this movement but I think it should come with a change to the way the divisions are organized in the MLB, and here are my suggestions:
AL East:
New York Yankees
Boston Red Sox
Pittsburgh Pirates
Baltimore Orioles
AL North:
Minnesota Twins
Chicago White Sox
Detroit Tigers
Cleveland Indians
AL South:
Tampa Bay Rays
Texas Rangers
K.C. Royals
Colorado Rockies
AL West:
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Oakland Athletics
Seattle Mariners
[Expansion Team](Portland or Las Vegas?)
NL East:
Philadelphia Phillies
New York Mets
Washington Nationals
Toronto Blue Jays
NL North:
Cincinnati Reds
St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee Brewers
Chicago Cubs
NL South:
Atlanta Braves
Florida Marlins
Houston Astros
[Expansion Team](Virginia or New Orleans?)
NL West:
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Diego Padres
San Fransico Giants
Arizona Diamondbacks
As far as playoffs go I would prefer 8 teams per conference and for the regular season to either be shortened or pushed to March so that the playoffs begin around September 21st:
If 8 teams:
AL Wild Card Matchups[Best of 5]:
1 vs 8 AL Series 1 [Sept 21st-Sept 27th]
2 vs 7 AL Series 2 [Sept 23rd-Sept 29th]
3 vs 6 AL Series 3 [Sept 22nd-Sept 28th]
4 vs 5 AL Series 4 [Sept 24th-Sept 30th]
NL Wild Card Matchups[Best of 5]:
1 vs 8 NL Series 1 [Sept 23rd-Sept 29th]
2 vs 7 NL Series 2 [Sept 21st-Sept 27th]
3 vs 6 NL Series 3 [Sept 24th-Sept 30th]
4 vs 5 NL Series 4 [Sept 22nd-Sept 28th]
AL Divisional Matchups [Best of 5]:
AL Series 5: Winner of AL Series 1 vs Winner of AL Series 3 [October 1st-October 7th]
AL Series 6: Winner of AL Series 2 vs Winner of AL Series 4 [October 2nd-October 8th]
NL Divisional Matchups [Best of 5]:
NL Series 5: Winner of NL Series 1 vs Winner of NL Series 3 [October 4th-October 10th]
NL Series 6: Winner of NL Series 2 vs Winner of NL Series 4 [October 3rd-October 9th]
AL Championship Matchup [Best of 7]:
AL Series 7: Winner of AL Series 5 vs Winner of AL Series 6 [October 11th-October 19th]
NL Championship Matchup [Best of 7]:
NL Series 7: Winner of NL Series 5 vs Winner of NL Series 6 [October 13th-October 21st]
World Series Matchup [Best of 7]
AL Champion vs NL Champion [October 23rd-October 31st]
