Red SoxpitcherJoe Kellyplans on winning the American League Cy Young award thisseason. He made the prediction on a radio show Saturday morning and stuck to his guns when asked about it later in the day.

Yeah, Im going to win this year. Thats what Aeneas Williams Jerseys I told the radio guys, Kelly said, . They didnt believe me, so sucks to be them.

Kelly, however, doesn't nece sarily have the bite to back his bark.At 26, he has just 48 regular-season major league starts andwaslimited to only17 starts last season after mi singnearly three months with a left hamstring strain. Still, Kelly isn't lacking confidence.

I just feel like Im getting better every year. Im learning new stuff. I feel comfortable with where I am right now, Kelly said. You could ask every pitcher, (the Cy Youngs) going to be their goal. But my real goal is to be focused on every single pitch, 100 percent. The results, youre obviously not going to control them. So David Johnson Jerseys Im going to put all my mental focus and whatever I can into every single day Im out there working, working out, running, doing (pitchers fielding drills) in spring training.

Kelly made DeAndre Hopkins Jerseys his major league debut in June 2012 when hereplacedthe injuredJaime Garciain the Cardinals' starting rotation. Though he proved efficient with St. Louis, Kelly was traded to Boston in July 2014. He finished lastseasonwith a 6-4 record and 4.20 ERA.

Ive been knock on wood healthy my whole life. I skateboarded. Any extreme sport you can think of, I never got hurt, Kelly said. Last year getting hurt, it was horrible for me. Ive got to get out there, Ive got to play, Ive got to run around. Getting hurt, I was gone for three months and then traded. I felt like I didnt even have a season last year. Its something that Im looking Marco Wilson Jerseys forward to this year. Hopefully knock on wood Ill pitch the whole year healthy and get through it and be pitching in October and not having any arm problems or any leg problems. Just go out there and kick some butt.
