What are the REDSOX problems this year???

Aside from the revamped NYYanquis pitching rotation which is now the equal of REDSOX NATION or TAMPA BAY'S - the BOSOX have yet to develop strength up the middle either defensively-or-offensively!!! JACOBY ELLSBURY so far is not the offensive juggernaut in centerfield he was thought to be. ROCCO BALDELLI is old, can't run as well as he did, but can still hit. Will 'BIG' PAPI come back from an injury plagued season and the loss of 'MANNY' hitting to protect him??? The shortstop position also leaves much to be desired offensively/defensively. The team captain JASON VARITEK must endeavor to come back from a dismal season - and perhaps his skills are on an unalterable downward spiral. DEEP QUESTIONS FOR THE REDSOX THIS SEASON. [Does JOHN SMOLTZ have a full season in him??? Will ROCCO BALDELLI's legs hold up for the year??? Will KURT SCHILLING be able to 'throw' this year??? HOW WILL THE REDSOX REPLACE 'MANNY'S 100+RBI's??? TOO MANY QUESTIONS.]
