PrintJosh is a free agent at the end of the year. Do you think uncle Drayton would have enough brains to try and sign him? All I know is after last nights game we need to go after some pitching. I dont care who it is we cant give up that many runs thru 3 innings!! Ortiz looked horrible and I wont even start with the starter. If we cant keep the other team from scoring it makes no since to keep Roy here.

I think the way his contract is structured
is that the Red Sox have a $12 million option, while Beckett has a $2 million buyout clause. While the Red Sox are absolutely loaded with pitching depth, I seriously doubt that they’re not going to pick up that option.
Maybe after the 2010 season, but I suppose that depends a lot on where the Astros are. The Pettitte/Clemens signings came when the team was pretty loaded with talent, anyways, and had routinely contended in previous seasons. I’m sure Beckett would probably love to play for his hometown team, but it’s less likely he’d want to play for them if they look like they do right now.
Keeping Roy is another matter entirely.

R u kidding? You really think uncle drayton is going to sign a big name free agent that will be courted by teams that have no payroll limit? Heck he didnt even want Randy Wolfe who pitched a2 hitter thru 8 today!
