ARod a Sock

I think ARod will be a Red Sock next season. We all know he's going to opt out of his deal. The NY papers are doing their damnedest to drive him out of town with all the StrayRod and "he's not clutch" talk.

After that, I don't see how Boston doesn't make a huge push to sign him. Luchino covets him. Schilling (13 mill), Lowell (9 mill), and Matt Clement (9.5 mill) are all coming off the books, that's 31.5 mill right there. With Lester and Bucholtz, they could easily let Schilling and (obviously) Clement walk. ARod would replace Lowell. You know they'd love to stick it to the Yankees. They could move Lugo to third if ARod wanted to play short. The ballpark dimensions are attractive to a guy with thoughts of becoming the HR king.
