Nobody ever said this'd be all fun and games, kids.
Oh, sure, we had a good time imagining how many homers Adrian Gonzalez would hit. How many bases Carl Crawford would steal. We even decided that David Ortiz probably wouldn't have a bad year.
But this isn't just about the superstars, folks. No, it's about the interesting players. And unfortunately, for some of the guys, "interesting" comes a bit from fear. After all, if there's one big question mark in the lineup, it's Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
So how worried are we?

Not 2010 all-over again, but solid enough.
