Theo Epstein is bright. No doubt about it. Unfortunately, in his quest to compete with the Yankees he has become a big-league spender. All you need to know is the size of the payroll. The Red Sox are nearly keeping pace with the Yankees.
I hope the Oakland A's (with their "minor-league" payroll) kick both their butts. The Oakland franchise is truly remarkable. In recent years they have a regular season winning record against both Boston and New York despite being out-spent 2 and 3 to 1.
