While I would be disappointed if the Sox don't take the division, I think there is a pretty good chance they take one of the Wild card spots.
With Buchholz getting worn down, and Lester in a rut, I have concerns with the top of the rotation. I don't know about anyone else, but I've been pleasantly surprised about what the system's depth has given us for production -- Carp, Wilson, Aceves, Iggy, Bradley and even Jose la Torre have all contributed in big ways. Still, I'm doubtful that they will be able to hold off the Yankees once they've got a real lineup again.
