And crazy expensive, and probably bad. I've put in what I feel would be pretty optimistic offensive outputs. Seeing those, I would say the most the team would win would be 90 games. Considering that, and then considering that most of those guys won't sniff those numbers, I'd say you have to assume that team would barely scratch .500.
You can't suddenly forget about power, and when the most powerful bat is a guy who doesn't draw walks and is going to be like 22 years old and hitting 7th? You're screwed.
I also don't think Damon should be anywhere near the Sox radar. He's going to cost $6-8 million again, and he's probably only going to put up a .750 OPS again. The Sox can do a hell of a lot better than that.
And you're being pretty nice in some of those projections as well. Not to be a complete jackass, but that's a bad lineup, there's really no other way to put it.
EDIT: Guess I should read before I write as you said you were putting in optimistic projections in your 2nd damn sentence.
