Hope For the Best, Plan For the Worst
Nothing like an off day to get the rumor mill going. Theo is busy preparing for the worst case scenario where Ortiz never gets his swing back and Tek stops producing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this and it does not mean that Buchholz or Bowden are on the way out the door. The Red Sox like to go with players they have developed so they will be cautious to jump on a deal where they have to give up some young talent. The Eric Gagne trade soured the team on trading for a quick fix.
Victor Martinez would be a nice solution for the catcher of the future and Nick Johnson is a moneyball type of player but Theo is not about to trade Buchholz, Bowden or MDC unless things get worse.

I am not liking this trade talk. Yes, Martinez sounds like a solution to a lot of the Sox worries. However, I have heard they are talking about a trade that includes a package deal of Clay Buchholz, Daniel Bard and Lars Anderson.
First, if Clay gets traded....I will have a full and complete tantrum. And secondly, no one is worth that package deal. Those 3 are all super stars of the future...and are not worth one guy, no matter how much we might need him right now.
