Is it time for Red Sox and Yankees to panic? Our experts weigh in

Panic! Doom and gloom! The sky, yeah, it's falling. Oh wait, it's mid-April and the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees actually aren't that bad -- so we decided to leave the worry behind for a minute and focus on what has gone right -- and how high the ceiling still could be -- for the AL East rivals.

What's one thing you'd be excited about so far if you were a Red Sox fan?

Jeff Passan: The back end of the bullpen has actually been really good. For all the hullabaloo over the closer role, Ryan Brasier and Matt Barnes have performed, Brandon Workman has provided a nice bridge and Colten Brewer and his crazy-spin curveball might prove an integral option going forward.
