I'm ... worried, excited, and hopeful about the 2012 Red Sox. Worried because they don't have a set rotation yet, and have a new manager, excited because I won't have to watch Fatty McLackey sweat on the mound and hopeful that Crawford will be better in year #2 than year #1, and Valentine will right the ship in the clubhouse, and we won't have bad Papelbon show up in any games against the O's this year.

I just hope figgins doesn't suck again.
