The 2004 team had better hitters but the 2007 team hit better in the playoffs. The 2004 team had better starting pitching and better set up bullpen, 2007 team better closer.
Pretty close all in all, but 2007 team was more fun to watch because of the homegrown talent/youth.

Hail to the Red Sox. I think this 2007 team will probably be better next year if they stay healthy. Very nice mixture of veterans and young players. Beckett certainly deserves the Cy Young just based on his regular season and he's only 27. I realize pitchers have had better years statistically in yesteryear. In today's game his accomplishments were just phenomonal. And then we have the playoffs. Awesome performance and he's only 27. The Red Sox have a lot of good up and coming young players in the field and on the mound. The middle of their lineup is just incredible. Manny is 35 but he should have more good in him. Not sure about free agent status of Red Sox players but things look good for the Red Sox long term.
