I wouldn't touch Beltre with a ten foot pool this offseason, guy is classic contract year guy who doesn't live up to the hype of the next contract.
The bullpen will be the teams downfall, I've been saying this all year. Papelbon has been trending downward for the past 2 years, I'm glad everyone else is finally seeing that. The guy is no loner an elite closer, nor has he been for quite some time. Oki isn't fooling anyone anymore, Delcarmen had his nice stretch and now he's imploading. Bard is gonna be thrown out there way too much this year, he'll me might have to be the closer. The Sox need their starts to go at least 6 innings every night, we can't have multiple scrubs out there. What we need is an 8th inning guy to take the load off of Bard or hell even a closer if we see Paps continue to melt down like he has been.
