1908 Update:

The Red Sox made a sizeable leap forward in 1908 to a record of 82-72, good for 5th place, 9 games back. They were led by:
• Mike Tiernan, 20, RF, 1906 first-round pick who led the AL in Avg: .305, OBP: .405, and OPS: .793 and was 3rd in RBIs: 74 and SBs: 61
• Al Downing, 21, who led the AL in K’s: 215, and tied for 2nd in wins: 23, going 23-12, 2.02
• George Burns, 20, LF, who led the AL in SB’s with 69
Mark McGwire was also a bit of a disappointment, with 5 HRs and a .221 avg

Overall, they were 1st in the AL in runs scored, batting average OBP and SBs, so they improved their offense as needed. However, they were still slowed by their 6th place spot in both runs allowed and defense. Improvements in those areas, along with much needed power are the steps needed to close the gaps with the leaders. They have youth on their side to sustain the improvements made to date.
