[Cocos Disciples]

Beckett, Martinez and Lee's options will all be exercised.

[Gom]

There are other teams out there besides the Red Sox you know.

[CrespoBlows]

Lee plays for the Phillies.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I beleive the Sox gave up the club option on Billy Wagner to get him to drop his no trade clause.

[Dipre]

Lee plays for the Phillies.

 

Gom crashes and burns Jacko style.

[suns]

Cliff Lee said in cleveland he won't sign a extension.

[BoSox21]

Dye will be let go, Ordonez too probably. Do those two play for the Sox, Gom?

[Cocos Disciples]

Lee plays for the Phillies.

Guess the majority of small brains dominates here. Haven't heard from some of the more intelligent posters yet.

[The_Destroyah]

Jermaine Dye's option wont be picked up...

[suns]

We should get manny rameriz, I heard he's doing pretty well in LA.

[The_Destroyah]

the Sox need to try and grab either John Lackey or Rich Harden...and thats all I got to say about that.

Love you too Gom.

[BSN07]

Ordonez's option vests in 40 something more Ab's

[BSN07]

Doesn't Carl Crawford have 2010 option?

[Keeper]

the Sox need to try and grab either John Lackey or Rich Harden...and thats all I got to say about that.

 

I would take Lackey over Harden. Harden has more upside, but Lackey pitches deeper into games and is a lot more durable.

[The_Destroyah]

I would take Lackey over Harden. Harden has more upside' date=' but Lackey pitches deeper into games and is a lot more durable.[/quote']

 

I agree but we need to get 1 or the other IMO if we dont get a solid arm for the middle of our rotation I will feel that our offseason will have been a failure.

[CanadianSox]

I'd love to see Bay still in a Sox uni next year.
