What Concerns You Most About Red Sox?

It's not been a very fun April for the Boston Red Sox. The three-headed rotation of aces has not yet lived up the billing, and the "run prevention" tag used to describe the team assembled in the offseason now seems like a cruel joke.

At the plate, it hasn't been much better, with David Ortiz, J.D. Drew and Victor Martinez hitting a combined .176 through 13 games.

Of course, that's not to say that the Sox will remain mired in a season-long slump, but the sample size is growing without signs of improvement.

So what is it that worries you the most? Here are the stats:

The Red Sox are hitting .249 as a team, 19th-best in the majors. They've plated 50 runs, which ranks them 26th in the league.

The Red Sox have a team ERA of 4.58, good enough for 21st in the majors.

The Red Sox have committed 10 errors, the seventh-most in the majors. Their .980 fielding percentage ranks 19th in the league.
