New Poll Question:
What early season situation most concerns you?
We all know that the season hasn’t started off firing on all cylinders. It’s also fair to assume that Dustin Pedroia won’t bat under .200 over the course of the season, so over-analysis at this point is slightly futile. That said, there are a few things that are or could be concerning moving forward. Which of the following early season outcomes could be most detrimental to the team over the long haul?
– Jon Lester’s 9.00 ERA
– David Ortiz’ slow start (.173/.293/.206)
– Jacoby Ellsbury’s OBP struggles from the leadoff spot (.254)
– Jed Lowrie’s injured wrist
– Daisuke Matsuzaka’s arm fatigue
As always, new poll is up to the right…vote away and argue it out in the comments.
Previous Poll Results:
Are you worried about the Red Sox slow start?
While only 13% of you are lining up on the Tobin already, I find it surprising that only 24% of Fire Branders expect the Red Sox to weather the storm. We’ll see how quickly the 64% of you that are in some degree of worry move to one pole or the other as we move into week two of the season.
