Sportsbook.com 2006 Odds to Win: World Series - 10-1,  AL Pennant - 4-1

2006 OUTLOOK: Losing the heart & soul of your lineup isn't the best way to be coming into a season, especially when that player left for your biggest rival. Damon's departure wasn't the only one though, and thus you'll see a different BoSox team in '06. On a good note, Manny 's still around and this team may have the best pitching staff in baseball. That alone could propel them on to another title.
