Lester, bucholz, lackey, beckett and daiseke. Thats pretty formidable even before you mention the kids that they will be working in.

I wouldn't screw around with catcher if I were Theo. You just spent all of that money on two guys and you have a 50 million dollar rotation. Overpay in propects via trade for a good vet and call it a day. I read somewhere that they were looking at Russell from LA.

Supposedly they are looking at Martin. He comes reasonably cheap but has stunk the last 2 years at the plate and is coming off of hip surgery which caused him to miss the last part of last year. Of course the yankees are also interested in him so who knows if Boston is just driving the price up. I would think that with a veteran staff and Varitek as a security blanket, catching wont be a major issue. I will go on record now as saying that whoever signs Martin will be underwhelmed.
