September 26, 200817 yr Does anyone see a parallel with the Sox & Yankees? Both teams are aged, with a few youthful stars blooming. It will be interesting to see how both teams handle the off season. Which team will reload-which will rebuild?
September 26, 200817 yr I don't see the similarities. Especially since the Yankees have more money than God (With the new Yankee Stadium being an ATM for them) and they draft better players than we do for their minor league system. It wouldn't shock me to see the Yankees back in the playoffs next yr if they make the right FA moves and trades. With us, we don't have much in the minors for trades and we have a ton of dead money we can't move easily (Konerko, Contreras, Linebrink, Dotel). The Sox need a FA 2B, settle CF and 3B, find another starting pitcher for the 5th slot and find bullpen help. They have to do all that being on a limited payroll so I don't envy KW's job this offseason. Edited September 26, 200817 yr by Allsox
September 26, 200817 yr I see one big difference... The Yankees have been out of the playoff race since about August and never really seemd like contenders in their divison... The White Sox are heading into the last weekend of the season with their playoff destiny in their own hands...
