| Yes I am, after weeks of talking with Mark Teixeira and agent the Red Sox came out last night and said that they were not a factor. It was not any person but Owner John Henry who said we are not factors for Teixeira. Which I don't believe I still think they are still very big factors and still have a very good chance of signing the first baseman. Why?? Because the Red Sox are known for not talking about there negotations with free agents until a agreement is in place....

| Does Derek Lowe come back? I think the Red Sox should sign Lowe, he is no longer a party boy and is much more mature than he was 4 years ago. Lowe has expressed that he wants to re-join the the Red Sox for his second stint with the club. While the rumors have been saying that the Red Sox won't pay the money Lowe wants, I think that is all they will pay and if they get Lowe he would be their biggest pitching addition.

| Dustin Pedroia has vaulted to the forefront of the American League Most Valuable Player race with some astoundingly hot hitting recently - he's batting .480 over the last two weeks, with five homers in 59 at-bats, and there are various other small sample sizes that are just as impressive (he's batting .615 thus far in September, for instance).
But what's truly remarkable is that Pedroia's actually been a non-stop offensive force since the early days of summer.

He has been the Red Sox catcher for 11 years and has caught 4 no hitters and two world series which were successfully won by the Red Sox. His defense is the best but his offense has peaked but not up but down and this year is only hitting .215 and is in a year long slump. ...
