Maybe mueller, but reese and bellhorn are not free agents.

What don't you guys get about Bill Mueller having an option for next season?

 

as for Bellhorn and Reese, qwerty, they are free agents if they don't resign with the Red Sox.

Heh!! That Todd Richie had some talent

Bellhorn is still arbitration eligible I believe which is why he doesn't show up on many websites. I could be wrong though.

He is, but no doubt that pick it up.

He is, but no doubt that pick it up.

I sure hope so, but not necessarily.

 

next year Youkilis will be ready to start fulltime, and I don't see Mueller being a utility man.

 

Bellhorn's my favorite sox, he also hit a grand slam today to make it 8-6 going into the ninth.

I sure hope so, but not necessarily.

They will not resign reese so it is certain than retain him.

Hmm... If Houston has no intentions on resigning Berkman, I wouldn't mind him in our lineup...

 

Then again, he'd probably cost 8-12 million, which would mean we'd have less money elsewhere, like pitching - where we really need it to go to.

They will not resign reese so it is certain than retain him.

They will not resign Pokey Reese? Who are you, Peter Gammons or something?

Pokey reese = bad. Red sox do not keep bad players for the most part.

I know if i had to choose i would not take reese over bellhorn.
