I have read that the Sox are scouting both Jake Peavy and Francisco Rodiguez. To that, I have just one answer: NO. Please....
I haven't liked Peavy since he turned down a trade a while ago to an A.L. team because he said he didn't want to pitch in the A.L. He later then accepted a trade to the Chisox, but I think it was a year or so later.
I just don't think this guy has the guts to pitch in the A.L. East, in the thick of a pennant race. It was easy in San Diego, with the laid back fans and weak-ass division. The fans and media of Boston will crush this guy.
As for K-Rod: He is pitching well right now, because his innings are low from not playing early in the season. His stuff is not what it was, and we don't need another Hanrahan in the back end of our bullpen.
The Sox should check on the price for Bud Norris, and if it's reasonable, pull the trigger on him. He is still under team control for another 2 seasons. By reasonable, I mean don't trade Bogaerts, Bradley, Webster, Barnes, Ranaudo, Owens, Cecchini, Workman or B. Johnson.
I would give up Bryce Brentz, and a mid-level prospect pitcher.
