Throughout the offseason, I’ll attempt to keep you up-to-date about how each A.L. East team compares to the others. This will be done on a position by position basis, using the depth charts as listed on MLB.com in order to ensure the focus is on the comparison and not on who is the starter.
Scores will be kept by ranking with 1 being the best on a 1 to 5 scale. The team with the lowest score at the end has the best outlook going forward and so on.
The comparisons will be done a few times, particularly after major changes are made to one or many of the lineups.
