The record speaks for itself. The composition of the team, with age always an issue, contributed to the Sox demise.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, 2007 will be gigantic in determining the durability of the Epstein 'legacy'. Is he up to the task? Would anybody be?Ron Sen, MD, FCCPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421945373895318335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11930409.post-1160701024203204312006-10-12T20:57:00.000-04:002006-10-12T20:57:00.000-04:00Here's the only reality check one needs: Theo is f...Here's the only reality check one needs: Theo is far too fascinated in creating a youth machine on the cheap. The catch being that Theo does not have the Belichek/Pioli genuius of spotting talent and developing it into world champions.
