Yea thats another reason why I can't wait untill next year and hopefully he is a starter instead of the closer because Francona doesn't do the best job of mangaing the bullpen.

This is my projected line up for next year.

SP - Schilling
SP - Beckett
SP - Papelbon
SP - Wakefield
SP - Lester

In no particular order.

DH - Ortiz
RF - Pena
CF - Crisp
LF - Ramirez
3B - Lowell
SS - Gonzalez??
2B - Pedroia
1B - Youk
C - Varitek



Everything is good besides our bullpen. Does anyone know what were gonna be looking at in terms of free agent releivers?

Also does anyone see Jacoby Ellsbury being traded in the off season or sometime next year? I only say that because I see no real spot for him in the future and he could be a good bargaining chip to try to land someone, either that or Coco Crisp gets traded to make room for Ellsbury possibly when he's ready to get called up.
