I love this. The Yanks and Red Sox have had the best arms race I can remember this year. One team makes a move, the other counters. Each team is built to beat the other. THIS IS HOW BASEBALL SHOULD BE and it's about time the Sox had a GM who understands that. You don't sit back and whine about the Yankees, you use them as motivation to go out and build your own Yankee-killing team. Especially when you are the Red Sox and you have been owned by the Yanks since before Bob Hope could vote. It costs money, but if you aren't willing to spend money, quitcherbitchin and sell your team to someone who WANTS TO WIN. I for one look forward to the best battle for the AL East in years. Theo Epstein (even though I'm older than him) is a worthy competitor.
