If the Sox were to win the 2014 World Series--or really, just win another one before the Giants or Cards do--they would have as many World Series wins as the next two teams combined.
That's an interesting factoid but not necessary for a 'Dynasty' and yes I realize your are not making that claim, never the less I'm making the clarification. I point this out because I don't think the Sox can replicate last season for a number of reasons. The main reason being to many things went right and another being human nature. However starting in 2015 and the next few years after-that I think we will be among the favorites to represent the AL in the WS. I believe the influx of cheap in-house top notch talent will allow the Sox deep pockets to be competitive in free agency and fill in the few missing pieces.

I pretty much mostly agree.
 
I think right now, the favorites for the Series would be the Cards and the Tigers, but if you could guarantee that Bradley and Bogaerts have a smooth transition, it might be the Sox instead. You can't, of course, but two months in, we could be looking at guys who are playing like vets.
