The Sox managed to tie for first with one of least productive first baseman last year, along with the worst fielding and out-producing SS.
All the Sox have to do is find a first baseman to hit more than 10HR and hit better than .275, and a shortstop who can field and stay out of double-plays.
If losing Johnny Damon this FA year means obtaining Torri Hunter or Andruw Jones in next year's FA market, then I'll take that any day. Damon will be old Bernie Williams by the end of his contract.
And as far as the Sox only having their starting rotation, the last time I checked, they still have Loretta, Manny, Papi, Tek, and Nixon as their 2 thru 6 hitters. The Sox aren't done making moves this off season and will have the better team in the end.
