January 28, 200521 yr This may be premature. but, I've noticed apattern with all the Sox FA signings this offseason. Dye, El Duque, Hermanson, and Iguchi all got 2 year deals with some containg a 3rd year option. Do you see this as The Sox going for it all the next 2 years and then after that rebuidling? I'm not sure off the top of my head as far as Buerhle, freddy, and Contreras when their current contracts expire. Just looking for your thoughts............

Doesn't it have something to do with the Collective Bargaining Agreement? I think it's up after 2006.
January 28, 200521 yr I agree that it has more to do with the CBA expiring after the 2006 season than anything else. In addtion they have several ml talents expected to make it on the Sox by 2007. As long as Thomas maintains a 900+ OPS he's going to be on this team. It's just a matter of how much he'll be playing for. I don't see the Sox ever buying him out. I expect them to renegotiate an extension before that happens.
