Schilling and Timlin are close to 100% goners after the 2008 season. Wakefield possibly. The Sox could very well end up picking Manny's 2009 option. Id love to see them get Mark Teixeira, but Im banking on Yankees giving him a blank check if he hits free agency.
As far as starting pitchers go, Im sure the Sox will look into Burnett if he opts out of his contract
Potential 2009 rotation if Santana & AJ are acquired
Johan Santana
Josh Beckett
Daisuke Matsuzaka
AJ Burnett
Clay Buchholz
