Here’s a look at Jerry Remy’s preseason picks to click in the 2008 campaign.
| David Ortiz | Mr. Clutch. With game on the line, Big Papi has superhero powers. |
| Manny Ramirez | In great shape. Contract year. Expect Manny happy returns. |
| Mike Lowell | World Series MVP remains the ultimate professional. |
| J.D. Drew | Ready to roll after dealing with some adversity last season. |
| Dustin Pedroia | Went from question mark to rookie of the year in 2007. |
| Jacoby Ellsbury | Kid Dynamite. Has the skills to become a superstar. |
| Jon Lester | Cancer survivor is bigger and stronger than ever. |
| Clay Buchholz | No-hit phenom could fill No. 5 starter spot. |
| Brandon Moss | Nice extra outfielder with pop, glove and energy. |
| Justin Masterson | Sinkerballer reminds some of a young Derek Lowe. |
| Bartolo Colon | No-risk acquisition. Expect big things out of the big right-hander. |
| Sean Casey | Valuable insurance policy. The Mayor is more than just a nice guy. |
| David Aardsma | First name in Baseball Encyclopedia aims for another claim to fame. |
| Danny Kolb | Journeyman reliever looks to regain ‘04 All-Star form. |
| Chris Carter | Part of Wily Mo Pena trade. First baseman has power bat. |

| Josh Beckett | Ace will only get better. Could take home AL Cy Young. |
| Jonathan Papelbon | One of the premier closers in baseball. |
| Manny Delcarmen | Should be a key member of the bullpen. |
| Tim Wakefield | Knuckleballer is the model of consistency. |
| Curt Schilling | Heart of a champion ... but will he pitch this season? |
