Offensively this is a very deep and well balanced team. Abreu is what will buy them the series this year. The pitching is mediocre on the whole and the defense is average. That offense is what will beat just about everyone else.
Offense alone will not win a World Series, never has, never will.
why do the Yankees 'buy' players, when the Red Sox 'acquire talent'? Manny came to the Sox with a monsterous contract, and Ortiz and Beckett just signed huge extensions. Where those examples of them 'buying' a team, or what? The Sox salary total is quite high, too.
