Red Sox 1968 Prospectus Highlights Pitching Question Marks
Boston looks strong at hitters and defense but pitching remains a big question. Lotberg and Santiago must regain 67 form after injury plagued 1967, with Lanborg and Culp anchoring the staff and Ellsworth back from 16 wins. Catching and infield show mixed potential as Scott hopes to rebound, while Yastrzemski and Smith anchor the lineup and Conigliaro’s health could shift right field. Predicted finish: 3rd in the East.
