IMO i still think Santana is a good pitcher but Redsox Management should not give up the farm for him. His numbers are for sure on the decline and i wouldnt trust him to be worth the $ he will be asking for in an extension. This year ERA,walks, whip and BAA were all up and K's, IP, and wins were all down. Hell out of his 15 wins only 5 were against quality opponents and he shouldnt have lost to Cleveland 5 times. Just my opinion but i think its crazy to mortgage the future for him.

Default For Dissection....2008 Red Sox Roster........

It's certainly going to be a very interesting off-season.

The Sox front office has many decisions to make, but they are the result of mostly "good" situations, not "problems".

Although highly unlikely, there is a possibility that the cards could fall in a way that we are looking at the following 25 man roster for the Sox in 2008.

What do you think?

Starting Lineup

LF- Ellsbury
2b – Pedroia
DH- Ortiz
SS – A-Rod
3b – Lowell
RF – Drew
1B – Youkilis
C – Varitek
CF – Crisp

Starting Pitchers

1 - Beckett
2 - Matsuzaka
3 – Lester
4 – Bucholtz
5a – Schilling
5b – Wakefield

Bullpen

Papelbon
Okajima
DelCarmen
Timlin
Tavares
Hansack

Bench

Hinske
Kielty
Cora
Mirabelli

lol @ putting lester #3 there

lester has run like god in his major league career. with average luck his major league ERA is in the 5.50 range and nobody thinks hes a big deal.

scouts like him and hes recovering from cancer so maybe he takes a big step forward next year, but he shouldn't be getting any starts next april unless lots of people are hurt or he shows a lot of progress in ST

I think Manny Ramirez should still be in the lineup. He's kinda good.

he's sort of pessimistic and I don't agree with him on some things (he's clearly jealous of Timlin), but I think he's right on here. Lester's got plenty of potential as a 23 year old, but he's run sick good. His K/9 is decent enough, but nothing special, and his K:BB and WHIP stats are very mediocre.

Lester's a nice piece to have, but he's definitely not our 3rd starter.

If they can get anything or Crisp (or turn Ellsbury into Santana somehow) I wouldn't mind seeing Kielty back as the 4th OF. (I thought this before his HR if thats believable.)

Informative thread. Good read. I will keep up on it.

I'm not a Sox fans (Cards all the way!), but I really wish I was. You guys are in excellent shape. When you have problems like "what are we going to do with Crisp?" that should let you know what kind of condition your franchise is in.

Anyhow, congrats on the WS win.
