After identical 89-73 records, this is splitting hairs, but I'd rather not face Britton/Brach/Givens. Also, Chucky is a terrible in-game manager, so go Jays. I guess.
How many plays are there in one game that could make a difference wrt a manager decision? Hey, I'm struggling with it too!

Actually, the players aren't Canadians, except for Martin, are they? Somehow I dislike Donaldson and Bautista. They aren't at all sweet and cuddly, are they?
Actually, Josh is a surprisingly sensitive lover. I can't speak as to Jose.

I still wish Cherington had thrown some prospects at Donaldson instead of signing Pandoval. Besides, I like Donaldson's reptilian haircut.

Bautista might end up with the Red Sox some day soon (he'll be a lot cheaper than Encarnacion).

Of course, who's cuddly depends on lots of situational considerations.

Just thinking down the road, I'd rather face Gibbons in a 7 game series than Buck
I think I'd rather deal with Baltimore if I had to pick. Weaker rotation than Toronto with a lineup that can't hit lefties which works to our advantage with Price and Eddy.

Edit: the 2017 Boston Red Spx will not need a third baseman. You saw it here first, kids. (I meant platoon 3B )
