You are right that this week may determine how far the 2009 Sox go, but the roster moves you mentioned will not be the reason. Lowell and Lowrie get activated. Bates gets optioned to AAA. Lugo gets traded or released. Buchholz gets one start and either goes back to the minors or gets traded for Halladay. IMO, if Toronto moves Halladay to a contending team, that team will be the odds on favorite to win the World Championship. I'm hoping that the Sox get him or that the Blue Jays keep him.
