He was specifically asked a question about stepping into this rivalry though. Of course he is going to make it sound like he is ready to jump right in.

    Well then that's my mistake, there was no context given when I read about it.

Then smile and say how much you want to beat the Yankees or something.

    Seems like Russell Martin is starting to gain steam with Sox. Salty has an option, so 'Tek would stay as backup. - Nick Cattles via twitter

    Source: Sox met w/ Mets last night, Beltran's name came up, but it's no more than an extreme fallback plan for Sox

    Mets source on Mets-Red Sox reported talks about Beltran: "It's all the same. There's nothing."

    Yankees Reportedly Offering Cliff Lee a 'Very Strong' Six-Year Offer Wednesday

    One person involved in the discussion between the Mets and Red Sox told Joel Sherman of the New York Post that there was "nothing close there" in regards to a trade involving Carlos Beltran.

    I agree. I mean they were planning on the Saly/Tek combo anyways and Martin can also be used to give Ortiz a "breather" against lefties.

    The Red Sox appear to be focusing on Ordonez in their search for an outfielder, reports CBS Sports' Danny Knobler.* This would not be good news for Carl Crawford.* The Tigers, Phillies, and Orioles are also said to be in the mix for Maggs.* Ordonez is coming off a broken ankle, but worked out for teams today.* Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports says Boras is seeking at least two years and $20MM

    I am on the fence with this one. maggs is a solid hitter and would fit great in our lineup, but he's old and injuries have plagued him on and off.

    I'd hit him 5th. Ortiz sucks.

    sidenote: The Red Sox lineup is ridiculous.

    Crawford would be great, but at least they know they have to address the problem with either Crawford, Maggs, Beltran or other options. Same with catcher as Russell, Napoli, AJ and others have been mentioned. They need 2 more bats and 3 bullpen arms to make a good run here, going on the notion that Lee and or Crawford will wind up elsewhere.

    I think the lineup is fines as is to make a run. The pen needs work though obviously.

    Also I haven't been in here in awhile, but I said it last year and I still believe it: AGon will outproduce Pujols this year... in Fenway with Crawford, Youk, Pedroia, and Papi... little different from Petco with Denorfia, Hairston and Headley.
