For all the money and the hype about AA, Friedman, Theo / Cherington, MacPhail / Duquette, and Cashman being geniuses, and for all the smash and grab wins they pull in interleague, that division has won one WS after 2007, and won only 2 pennants.
I'm sorry, I'm very happy for Duquette. He may have a personality disorder, and put together an awful collection of people in 2001, but otherwise he was a mostly competent, at times brilliant, GM in Boston, who operated with a relatively low payroll, often behind the Jays and Os during his tenure.
