I'm not sure there's any hangover, Cap'n, seeing as they jettisoned Dave Roberts (The Steal), Doug Mientkiewicz (The Final Out), Derek Lowe (Postseason Pitcher Extraordinaire) and Orlando Cabrera (The D), among others. Theo Epstein knew he couldn't rest on his laurels, and so he went out to retool the team for another run. Kudos to the Boy Wonder for that.

Clement will win at least 15 games. You heard it here first.
