good post.
I consider the Schilling scenario over. Unless something changes drastically, he is gone. Think about it. If he has a s***** yr, the sox wont want him. If he has an average to solid yr, he will get a multiyr deal from an NL team. I think the sox want to go with a young core and if Buchholz handles AA and Lester is strong in AAA, then you will see the "big three" of this yr mixed with Lester and Buchholz to have a rather young starting 5.
