In the begining of the offseason, i thought we would have signed pavano, re-signed pedro, got varitek back easily, and be in great shape. Right now we have accomplished none of those, but i agree with how theo's handled the situation. I think we should have let pedro go earlier since he was asking for to much re$$$pect and pushed harder for pavano, thats the only thing i dont understand. I like Renteria, him and Hanley will make a great middle of the infield (if we dont trade Hanley). Wells is okay in my book, not sure how he'll do, he'll fit right in with our "idiot"-like clubhouse.
