We are talking about the Red sox and your insistence that they aren't developing players, not comparing the Red Sox and yankees going back to 1994.
Youlkilis- 31 yrs old 4 full seasons in MLB. Finished 3rd and 6th in MVP voting last 2 years. Gold Glove player. 2-all star
Pedroia- 27 yrs old 3 full seasons. rookie of the year. MVP. 3 time all star. Gold glove. silver slugger
Papelbon -29 yrs old 4 seasons in MLB- 4 time all star. World series MVP
Lester- 26 yrs old 53-19 with 3.50 era lifetime. all star.
Buckholz - 25 yrs old 10-4 with 2.45 era this year. all star
ellsbury - 25 yrs old hit .301 with 94 runs and 70 sb last year
Bard- 25 yrs old- dominant set up man-43 IP/23 hits 1.87 era. next closer
yeah that group isnt very good.

I dont know if you do this on purpose or if you are mildly illiterate. I am starting to think it is a combination of both.
Boston has one of the best minor league systems in the game. When did I say differently? All I said was that the 2004 title was won by players that they didnt grow. Even in 2007, only Youk and pedroia made real contributions of the every day players and only paplebon out of the staff. What championship team have they grown? What group of players have they brought up like the yankees or braves did? If anything, those two titles were bought.
