Theo says he's taking his time, but red sox nation wants something to happen now. We don't want another Tex situation.
Apparently, he inquired about Granderson, but the Tigers wanted either Buckholtz or Ellsbury in return so he said no thanks.
Theo needs to secure Jason Bay or Matt Holliday, and then grab a pitcher. I think a certain pitcher moving from Toronto to Boston would work out well
I haven't heard much about Lackey lately, has he signed somewhre? He would fit in well at Boston too.
Theo should be looking at the here and now because while the farm system has great prospects, the really good prospects are at least two years out from major league debuts. Mike Lowell can be moved (with salary support) as well a Jed Lowrie. Lowrie has injury issues and securing Scutaro will hopefully seal the revolving door for a couple years. Papelbon is elligible for arbitration, so they'll end up giving him 4-5 at 10 per.. but word on the street is that Boston is willing to go from 120 million to around 150 million in payroll.
Theo, please get us an outfielder, a starting pitcher, and someone who can replace Papi if he has another sub-par season.
