I'm very jealous of what he's accomplished. Whether it was/is luck or skill, I have no idea, but I think he has built a team that will compete for several years to come and won't be hamstrung by payroll.
There, I said it.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm not sure what you mean. That he has built a cost efficient team, or that the Sox will raise payroll, so that won't be a concern?

They will be cost efficient starting next season and will still be able to raise payroll in the next few seasons, all while remaining competitive. I'm not sure how long it will last though, but I'd like to have their problems for the next 3-5 seasons. It hurts me to say it.

Signing Rios and trading for Peavy was a step in the wrong (right) direction.
