In no specific order, in 2006 there's Schilling, Clement, Arroyo, Wells(if he's still on the team), Wakefield and Poppelbon. Now you add Beckett and it get kind of crowded. Wells should be moved by then, and there's talk of Arroyo going to the pen.
So it may go, Schilling, Clement, Beckett, Wakefield and Poppelbon. I don't see anything in the numbers that would make me flip flop Clement and Beckett.

Looks like a great deal for the sox!!!
Lots of the so called insiders don't think that Hanley will live up to the billing that he has been getting for the past few seasons!!!

How about this. 2003 WS, he goes 7-1/3 in Game 3 of the Series, gives up 2 earned runs on 3 hits, strikes out 10 and walks only 3, and takes a tough loss when the bullpen gets shelled in the 9th. In Game 6, on 3 days rest, he takes the mound at Yankee Stadium against Pettite, and pitches a complete game 5 hit shut-out, striking out 9 and walking 2, and walks away with the Series MVP trophy.
What's Clement done in the post-season, other than suck 
Which of the two would you rather have on the mound in a clutch post season spot? |

Clement tanks in Sept and Oct.  
they should trade him |

He and Leeann are no longer an item, but good taste. It is a no brainer. IMO you always give up position players to get good pitching, always. He is young and has his best years ahead of him according to his last coach. He has some blister and shoulder issues but what pitcher doesn't have health issues. The only thing that worries me is he is a National league pitcher and they have not faired well in the last few years changing leagues. Lowell gold glove caliber 3rd baseman. Maybe a change of venue will help his numbers. Hate to loose Meuller but not going to loose sleep over it. Hanley is a year or 2 away. All potential. You never know. You don't give up any of your good pitching prospects. At least with Beckett you have him for 2 years if he sucks let him go. Burnett you will have to tie up for at least 5 years. Theo probably had this going before he left. Go for it. P.
