After the way last season ended, it's hard not to put "Boston Red Sox" and "disappointing" in the same sentence.
Although, after one of the most historic collapses in baseball history at the end of the 2011 regular season, Red Sox Nation has plenty to be excited about with one of the most potent offenses in the majors and capable pitching.
There will be numerous players who carry the Red Sox to victories day in and day out, but there will inevitably also be players who don't meet the expectations that have been set.
Some players bound for disappointment have been around the organization for what feels like forever, and will simply run out of efficiency while the up-and-coming players trump them in every statistical category.
Other Beantown ballplayers will crumble to the pressure of having an increased role, or simply don't have what it takes to compete at the level they will be put in.
Let's take a look at some players who could leave Boston fans scratching their heads in 2012.
