The Sox figure to get the better of this for 2008 but IMO, going from World Series winner, to just missing the playoffs, then to 72 wins shows the team is in a serious slide and should rebuild. This isn't going to help a team that is probably a few years away.

Swisher is 26, he should be around for a while. I do agree that they were really bad, and old last year. I wouldn't be shocked if they move or try to move Dye, Konerko, and/or Thome at the deadline if they drop out of it. But for some reason I think they will be better than we are giving them credit for. Of course I thought the Mets would win the World Series last winter and we all know how well that worked out.
