Today I started thinking about what it would be like when A-Rod opts out of his contract with the yankees.  As you know Brian Cashman has come out to say that he will not be bidding in the A-Rod sweepstakes and yes we call it a sweepstakes.  My view is that A-Rod and his super agent Scott Boras will be looking for upwards of 30-38 million dollars a year to play a game that we call baseball.  Lets say for argument sake the Red Sox decide to bid and we win the sweepstakes.  What would we do with Manny, Lowell(if we resign him), Lugo, Coco (since we now have ellsbury).  We would put ARod at short and lowell at third if we resign him (which we should). I really think Theo would have a field day as we would be able to trade Manny, Lugo.  Just image the type of young talent we would get for those guys mean while we would have one amazing lineup.  Ellsbury, Pedroia, Papi, A-Rod, Lowell, Drew, Varitek, Youk, Coco.  Thats a really young, fast and scary lineup for the next several years.
