If everything doesn't go wrong like in 2012 then won't that be an improvement? Why take the Babe position / arguement that history will repeat itself. What kind of a Red sox fan would want to think that way?

In response to louisthelipp's comment:

We won't have 32 sent to the DL.

Middlebrooks, Bailey, Pedroia, Papi, and Ellbury won't be out for long times.

Deadwood Youk won't be here

Beckett isn't here to underperform.

Lester won't have another off year.

Ellsbury won't have a Spring training in August.

Morales, Dubrount, and Tazawa will continue to impress.

BV is gone.

Am a being a pollyanna?

Shame on me .

That is vernotten here.

Better to have Babe troll instead

And his trolling is "FUNNY"

Still overwhelmed that I had a baseball post? Couldn't handle the optism? I tell you this pollyannaism from Kim and Pike has to stop. Pumpsie won't tolerate pom-poms. The forum must be negative to draw traffic and advertisements in turn. The Yankee contingent both visible and not will be out in force to keep us honest and realistic. I would say that positive posts and threads should be kept to a minimum of about 5 percent. You concur?

 A better arm in RF, more stolen bases. more right handed power. A recovered Bucholz.  Have we answered the troll's question yet?

Why couldn't Pumpsie come up with that list. He has Red Sox posters all over his bedroom wall and rarely has a good word to say in here. Go figure.

You saw the list. Anything to add to it?
