Its early. If Ortiz hits like he did the second half of they year excluding the playoffs we will be ok at least enough to get the wild card. Lester, Beckett, and Lackey will be fine and Bard and Papelbon will come into form. Hitters always are ahead of pitchers in April. If need be I'm sure they will acquire another bat.
Way too early to throw in the towel. Lets assess the situation 50 games from now.
