MLB Preview 2011: Looking at Adrian Gonzalez and the Boston Red Sox on Paper

The Red Sox had the most disappointing season of any team in baseball a year ago. 

General Manager Theo Epstein went out and was extremely aggressive in the offseason.  They went out and acquired Adrian Gonzalez via trade before the winter meetings.  Then they signed Carl Crawford to a seven-year $142 million contract.

Boston also made some under-the-radar signings to bolster the bullpen by signing Bobby Jenks and Dan Wheeler.

If Boston can get bounce back seasons from starters Josh Beckett and John Lackey, they'll be the team to beat in the American League.
