big offseason for us. looks like it's back to what should be a two horse race in the al east.

key additions:
- adrian gonzalez
- carl crawford
- dan wheeler
- bobby jenks

key question marks:
- how do beckett and lackey bounce back?
- can clay replicate last year?
- how will the clash of roles in the bullpen affect the dynamic out there?
- catcher and SS...two pretty big holes. any production would be welcomed
- health...lot of key guys coming back from big injuries in 2010: youk, laser show, and ellsbury.
- will JD drew play more than 100 games?

if we can stay healthy, it should be an awesome summer and even better october. let do work

I have a good feeling about Beckett rebounding well for you guys and Lackey just being a bully out there (probably with an ERA in the high 3s/low 4s).

would love for my dude beckett to have a big year. if he can stay healthy, he'll be effective enough. health's been the issue the past couple years. i don't really have any faith in lackey or dice k...but if they're you're worst guys, whatever.

This is the most excited I've been for a Sox season since they traded for Beckett in 2005.

Anything less than a trip to the World Series is a disappointment in my mind.

yeah agreed TB. if we're healthy, anything less than a WS appearance or DEEP DEEP ALCS run is a fail in my mind

Does your depth chart at pitching really have Beckett as a #1? Seems like Lester should be considered now.

i hear ya

it's definitely a seniority thing. and also, they don't want josh's confidence and swagger (what's left of it) to fade. they need him to have that "ace of the staff" mentality going in.
