Mariners are back baby, i didn't think they could pull it off, adding a good bat in the offseason to the Mariners used to mean Al Martin! This is great news!
This has been the worst offseason for the sox in a while, just think if they hadn't signed wells now! It is looking more and more like BK Kim will have a spot on the 2005 rotation.
Mine also. It better not happen.
Now i think your plan is what we should go for. This team is going to be very different to what i thought the 2005 Red Sox would be like.
Too bad Schill won't be pitching until May.
After the World Series win i kind of expected Pedro to sign with us, im also surprised that the Mets made a run for him, does this make them a contender now?
I guess it comes down to don't fix what isn't broken. OC did well this year, and we can get him for less, but i think Renteria will be a good fit in Boston.
Funny! Just look at these headlines they have:

What if Hanley isn't ready for the Majors in one year, or gets injured? I don't mind this move at all. Renteria is a good, proven SS who is only 29. Good move, the price is the only bad thing, but if that is what it takes then go for it.
I hope Well works out, i looked over his stats over the past few years, not to bad, but he is in his 40's. I think the 2 year deal with us may be the last for him in MLB.
He pitched below his carrer ERA (4.03) last year with a 3.37 ERA in 31 starts and was 12-8.
