I believe Beltran is going to SF and I'm glad about that. I'm willing to roll with Reddick/Drew/McDonald if I'm the Sox. A top of the rotation starter isn't going to happen so I'm thinking more along the lines of Jeremy Guthrie to eat innings until Buchholz (hopefully) comes back. Another interesting guy is Nolasco from Florida, though I doubt that happens since the resources are scare.
I think the main move the Sox will make will be for a lefty out of the bullpen.
I want to see Reddick/Drew in RF for the rest of the season. No need to use valuable resources on Beltran when they can be better spent on pitching. Pitching is a far bigger need for the Sox right now and for the next 2-3 months than offense is.
Re: Jimenez.
I don't want NYY to get him, but if they came off that package (Montero, Nova and the 2 B's) I'd be thrilled.
Absolutely no way they give all that up though. They'll go in another direction before ever doing that.
