Have you seen Pedro pitch this year? The thing with him is, it doesnt matter what he throws, he can consistently get guys out. I dont care if its 88, 78, or 98. He's smart and can locate his pitches.
In the first few starts, yes, he was down at 88, but he has since kicked it up and is now throwing 90-91. Point is, I'd rather have Pedro on this team now than most any other pitcher in baseball.
As for Tek, I'd love to see him re-sign, but two things stand in the way:
1) Scott Boras
2) Kelly Shoppach
I've heard great things about Shoppach and I would love to see him on the sox in the future. I don't know where that leaves Tek though. Although he is a great player, he may now want to sign for one more year, and he may not be worth the money.
