Better Than Eighth Predicts Stallings Boston Optimism
Stallings declares no prediction beyond ensuring Boston will not finish eighth. He notes early-season wins or losses depend on pitchers and laments lack of a proven closer like Mathewson Johnson or Walsh who can seal a one run lead in late innings. He hints a pitcher of that type could add about 20 wins or push the club toward the first division.
