I think this team has lasting power; reason being is their pitching. They remind me a lot of the old Yankees (someone wrote an article on this), with their defense, timely hitting, great pitching, and great bullpen. Crede is like Scott Brosius, Podsednik is Knoblauch, Uribe/Iguchi take care for Jeter, Konerko is Tino, Dye is O'Neill, Rowand isn't much like Bernie, but his defense more than makes up for it, and Everett is like Chili Davis or Strawberry. Then you have Buerhle, Garland, Garcia, and Contreras who are Pettite, Cone, Clemens, and El Duque. The only difference is Rivera, but Guillen's mixing and matching in the postseason is been fine.
Well, they'll have more lasting power if they keep Konerko.
