The Sox have several older players locked into expensive contracts so Wait ’till next year is going to feature many Groundhog Day moments. Ortiz, Lowell, Drew, Wakefield & probably even Varitek will be back, performing (less) good in the regular season, but not great. Certainly nowhere near playoff great. If the team makes a splash this off-season it may be the acquisition of a stud pitcher, hopefully Felix Hernandez, but Papelbon is a price too high. If Boston doesn’t sign Jason Bay, 2010 could be a wash, with the team looking to reload for 2011 when they will likely have a new third basemen, a new right fielder, and a new DH. Ugh. Chin up! The jolly good first place Patriots are in London.
