Sox questions

Entering the 09 season, I'm cautiously optimistic about the Sox chances, but I also have a lot of questions about them that need to be answered.
I'll start by saying I'm thrilled they brought back Tek. I know he had a down year last year, but anyone who watches them night after night knows what he brings to that team can't and shouldn't be measured by stats. This pitching staff simply wouldn't be the same without him. I'm hoping he retires with them and then stays on as a bench coach or something. Brilliant baseball mind.
OK, on to the questions.
1.) Is Papi really healthy and how will he perform in his first full season without ManRam hitting behind him.
2.) Will Lowell and Drew be able to play enough games this season? Lowell is coming off a bad injury and he's one year older. Drew inevitably will wind up on the DL at some point with a back problem, just hope it's not a recurring issue.
3.) How will Jacoby respond to being the go-to centerfielder? He split an awful lot of time last year with Coco and I just don't see Rocco Baldelli playing as much as Crisp, although I do love that signing. I think Rocco will make an impact.
4.) Yeah, the Sox have a deep pitching staff and we know what we have in the top three. Beck will do his thing. Lester will do his thing. Dice-K will win 18 games but only pitch into the 7th like four times. Wake will get rocked and then give up one hit over eight the next game. He'll go 14-10 with an ERA around 4 and make you nuts and love him at the same time. I've never been a huge Buckholz fan, just don't like the way he looks on the mound. I'm really hoping Penny pans out and Smoltz can be the future HOFer he is later in the season.
5.) Who is going to catch Wakefield? Seriously, this is always a major issue when Belli isn't on the team. Just go give him his 1-year, $550,000 so I don't need to clench up everytime Wake throws a pitch.
With all that being said, I'm fired up for this season. Been a long offseason with all the news out of NY (Sabathia, Burnett, Texeira, and that performance-enhancing drug abusing MVP at third, name escapes me right now.)
Enjoy Opening Day!!!
