I see the future.....
With a last minute deal between MLB and local cable companies I was able to watch the greatly anticipated season debut of Matsuzaka-san on the free preview of MLB In-Demand. You don't need a full analysis by me. Dan Shaughnessy did a fine job in today's Boston Globe. What I do envision is what will happen to good ol' top step Curt. If Dice-K holds this course, Beckett pitches like he did the other day & Papplebon and Lester show their stuff; Theo & co. will let him go unless he wants to sign a hometown discount deal. I have visions on Pedro, yes Curt may have another good year left in him, but not much more than that and definitely not at a premium price. How did Pedro pitch in the playoffs last year? he didn't!! The Sox could see him having one or 2 good years but he isn't the same he was 5 years ago, and certainly isn't worth top shelf money. The same thing will happen to Schilling.

I hate Dan Shaughnessy. Just throwing that out there. Let's also not put the cart before the horse. One start against the Royals may not be the greatest sample size to put him in Cooperstown yet. Although, I agree, it was exciting to watch and we can only hope he is as dominant all year. As for Curt, well, he's secured his place,but Theo has shown he doesn't overpay for old pitchers......he saves that money to blow on injury prone right fielders with bad shoulders.
