FN Poll: 85% See No AL East Flag For Sox

An astounding 85% of respondents to our latest FenwayNation Poll think the Red Sox will not win the American League East. By contrast, a scant one in seven respondents (15%) see the Carmine Hose taking the division flag.

The highest percentage of readers think the Sox will finish third (35%), while 31.3% see the team—as currently constituted—placing second. A surprisingly high 15% see Boston finishing fourth, while 3.5% see the team finishing dead last in the AL East. This rampant pessimism toward the Olde Towne Team may be due to the multiple holes still evident as pitchers and catchers report in only 16 days. You can still vote in the Poll HERE.
