The Red Sox are not claiming & pennant, they are not even demanding a place in the first division, but they do hope to do better than they did last year. We are building a new team and reconstruction in baseball is a slow process, It can't be done in one season or two seasons, as has been shown by numerous examples. Any place better than seventh will be an improvement for us and 1 hope that we make it, We are not pennant contenders but we may cause some trouble to those that are standing for the champlenship.
