Whats new for the red sox

The red sox are well on their way to the season opener and have seen many changes to their roster. First and foremost Jason Varitek,the catcher and captain retired during this offseason. Another key member, Tim Wakefield retired as well.

The Sox had many pick ups this season as well. One major player the sox acquired was Cody Ross. Cody was a standout in 2010 for the Giants and helped lead them to a world series. The Sox also picked up Nick Punto, star shortstop from the Minnesota twins, but had to give up Marco Scuturo in the process. This was a questionable move because the Scuturo was a top performer last season. I believe the Red Sox have great chance to make the playoffs season if Carl Crawford and some of the Red Sox's other big names can perform up to potential this season.
