Going into Spring Training this year the talk is about the new acquisitions & how they will intertwine with the rest of the team.
John Lackey will push Beckett & Lester to keep their #1 & #2 spots in the rotation.
Mike Cameron will play Jacoby-like CF for the Sox, but it will be up to Ellsbury, Cameron & Drew to have big offensive years to make-up for the loss of Jason Bay.
Adrian Beltre will play Gold Glove defense at 3B, but he needs a return to better offense as the replacement for Mike Lowell.
Speaking of Lowell, will he & David Ortiz rotate at DH this year? That's as interesting a question as to whether or not Ortiz will produce as he did in the past.
Lots of questions, but lots of excitement as well. We'll know in October if the Sox won the chess match of personnel over the Yankees.
