    I thought they needed a shortstop for only 1 year as they have a hot prospect in AAA at short.
    That being said he will be a good fit as he has excellent defense and can hit above average for
    a shortstop.

    I will be perplexed if I don't see
    a Doug Mentkeiwicz, Hanley Ramirez (SS prospect), and other player/cash
    going in a trade for a top starting pitcher.

    Getting Renteria makes absolutely no sense at all with SS prospect/Ramirez
    waiting in the wings.

    I will make a prediction that even though it is reported that Hudson will
    be going to the Dodgers, the Red Sox are going to make the A's an
    offer they can't refuse for Hudson.

    the sox are going to package hanley into a deal for a top notch P- thats without question. Renteria is a proven all star and gold glove SS with great speed and will be a threat.

    It will be Hanley Ramirez, Arroyo and B.Y Kim for Tim Hudson if Oakland agrees and Hudson agrees to at least a one year extention.

    I'll personally drive them all out to Oakland to make that deal! Arroyo is a good young pitcher, though - but to answer your question zsz70, this is exactly what I hope Theo is thinking here by signing Renteria. If it's not Hudson, maybe Ramirez (or Youkilis) goes somewhere else in a trade for a top pitcher.

    It would be foolish to part with Arroyo.

    Pitching wins championships, and Arroyo
    has youth and a lot of upside to him.

    If they lost Derek Lowe, then they have
    to keep Arroyo.

    The Sox have an extra shortstop/Ramirez
    and first baseman right now.

    It was smart replacing Cabrera with Renteria.

    I agree with you, to an extent, about Arroyo - but if you can use him in a package to obtain Hudson, it's worth it IMO. Pitching does indeed win championships, and Schilling/Hudson/Wells sounds pretty good to me.
