Too early to tell

I hope everyone had a great off season. It's great to be out here again with the rest of ''The Nation''.  I know it's only been a few games, but I'm seeing some very disturbing trends from last year; Ortiz and Lester are the ones that are jumping out at me right now. And is V Mart's bat going to be worth his sub par defense? Schilling wrote a great article a few weeks ago talking about what a lack of offense can do to a pitching staff. He said that you can't expect to win too many games when your're only scoring three runs a night. I'm really concerned about the talent level that is out on the field. Once again, too early to tell, but I've been a fan for as long as my screen name says and I just have a funny feeling about this year's team. And I've had it since we lost Jason Bay and weren't able to make a trade with Mike Lowell. I know that it's a long season, but the games in April and May count.

Take care, everyone
