The "can't miss" was in parentheses because in their opinion they were "can't miss" but obviously they did miss. Their formula for success both sucked and failed. The Sox plan worked. We need to protect our young talent and continue to develop and nurture it. Without the homegrown young studs like Youk, Pedroia, and Ellsbury this October we would have been...well, we would have been and incredibly talented, underachieving team that came up short. Kind of like the NY teams of the last half dozen or so years.
BTW, your analysis is great but your reading comprehension sucks, LOL.
