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?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
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.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If Peavy can't adjust to the AL, a HR friendly home park, or keeps battling injuries (or all of the above) for the remainder of his contract, then believe me, I will be the first one ROFL at KW. I will revel in it. I also feel Rios is overpaid. However, if our team wasn't such a bloody mess right now, I doubt I would even have the energy to be so damn jealous of the Sox, but alas these unhealthy thoughts have crept in. I feel disgusting.
