2006: What has gone right Red Sox: The top of the rotation has been healthy and, not coincidentally, dominating. Curt Schilling and Josh Beckett were 7-0 combined, and both had ERAs under 2.60. The Red Sox have been better at finishing games. Rookie Jonathan Papelbon, taking over the closer job from Keith Foulke, did not allow a run in his first 10 1/3 innings and was a perfect 7-for-7 in save chances. Yankees: The offense has been potent. After three weeks, the team was fourth in the AL in runs scored and ranked in the top five in home runs and batting average. Jason Giambi is producing as he did when he was using steroids. He began the week second in the AL in on-base percentage and led the Yankees in homers and slugging percentage. What has gone wrong Red Sox: With Damon gone, Manny Ramirez has assumed the club lead for longest locks, but they've done nothing for his power. He didn't get his first extra-base hit until he had a double in Game 14. He finally homered twice in Game 17. Yankees: Though Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina have been almost as good as Schilling and Beckett, the rest of the rotation has been shaky. Chien-Ming Wang, Jaret Wright and Shawn Chacon had two quality starts among them through their first eight starts. Giambi's defense was so lacking that the Yankees signed Tigers castoff Carlos Pena to play first. Lineup changes Except for their new leadoff hitter, the Yankees are fielding a lineup that is much like last year's. The Red Sox, however, overhauled their infield in addition to replacing Damon. There's a chance Damon's replacement, Coco Crisp, could be recovered from a broken knuckle on his left index finger in time for the team's first series at Yankee Stadium. Starting lineups for the clubs' first meeting in 2005 Red Sox Yankees Derek Jeter SS Lightning A-Rod The Yankees may be Derek Jeter's team, but Alex Rodriguez is the man who moves their W-L meter. In their first eight victories, the Yankees averaged 9.1 runs and A-Rod hit .467 (14-for-30) with four homers and nine RBIs. In their first eight losses, A-Rod hit .156 (5-for-32) with four RBIs and the Yankees averaged 3.3 runs. Stan McNeal is a managing editor for Sporting News. E-mail him at smcneal@sportingnews.com.
