I felt there was no excuse to lose this division with the talent they had in '03. They had it all, great hitting, great starters, a good bullpen, suprisingly good defense, but the only thing they lacked was speed. Speed might be just that important though, because you look at the Marlins and see the 1, 2 punch at the top of their lineup. There is no doubt that the Sox had more talent than the fish, but their only real speed threat was Willie Harris and he never played.
