Why would they go for Renteria when they want to re-sign Orlando? Granted Renteria is a better player then Cabrerra. But for a value-driven GM like Theo, I don't think the Sox pull the trigger on that. A;though Edgar has always been under appreciated. The Sox will re-sign Varitek. That is the no brainer. I'm hoping they throw good money at Lowe. If they sign him to 4 years I'd be super shocked. If that happened I would hope Cashman trade Giambi and Brown to the Sox while Theo is still under the influence of his first alcoholic beverage. He can drink now, right? Maybe all this has happened. I haven't been following MLB too much lately. I heard that the Yanks and Pavona have agreed in principle to a contract. Depending on how the Sox rotation ends up, I think the Yanks top 2 will be better then the Sox's top 2. And as good as Foulke was, he is no Rivera. Plus Foulke had that horrible season in Chicago. I'm hoping that someone reminds him that he's Kevin Foulke and the Red Sox are forced to trout out Alan Embree as their closer. Pedro is all washed up. Just even 4 years ago, someone asked me who I would want pitching for my team if it was game 7 of the WS. I quickly answered Pedro. It just wasn't that he was dominating, several pitchers at that point were. But he was unhittable. He had that extra gear. He was so good that he could afford to drill a number 3 hitter to load the bases and come back to strike the clean up man. A complete monster. Too bad he isn't a little bigger and bulkier like Clemens. -- 2004 - The year $184M couldn't buy a pennant.
