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. Top StatFox Team Power Trends BOSTON is 105-58 (+22.9 Units) vs. good fielding teams - averaging <=0.6 errors/game over the last 2 seasons.
