So criticising the Sox is trolling? Yes, bloated payroll. Sox are paying way to much for multiple players, batters and pitches, who are delivering way to little. The Yankees are probably paying too much for A-Rod, but the other high dollar players are delivering. I never said the Sox have no core to built aroundPedroia and Ells are a good core to build around. They've proven themselves and either would be a good captain. But Gonzo still has a lot to prove as far as contributing when the team needs him.

Stunning to see the worst collapse in baseball history didn't instill one gram of reality into you. Torre had success in New York built around a solid core, a TRUE captain, veterans who never lost the discipline and hunger to win, effective use of their farm system, and ownership that made smart decisions. You've completely abandoned any willingness to rebuilt in a steady, patient manner. Do Sox fans think one magic bullet will somehow bless them with the success they think they are entitled to? Boston the most "coveted job" in baseball? A team anchored by a bloated payroll, no pitching staff, and an unhealthy obsession with the greatest sports franchise ever? Fuggetaboutit.
