As we all gear up for the new season, Fire Brand wants to know what you think of the current Red Sox team.

Are you satisfied that the new “run prevention” additions will be what the Sox need to prevail?  Will they have problems in the bullpen after Jonathan Papelbon’s rough ending last season? Do the nagging injuries to Matsuzaka and Tim Wakefield scare you? Or, do you have fears that the alleged “power outage” in the Sox offense might be their undoing.  Let us know what you think!

As for the results of our last poll: What place will Boston finish in the division?

First Place – 51 percent
Second Place (Winning Wild Card) – 37 percent
Third Place – 6 percent
Second Place (Missing Playoffs) – 4 percent
Worst Case Fourth/Fifth Place – 2 percent

The general sentiment is that the Red Sox will be in the playoffs, an opinion that is difficult to argue with, and by the looks of it … We may have 2 percent Yankee fans as loyal readers.
