The Yankees let Jason Giambi & Carl Pavano go the way of free agency. Mike Mussina filed for free agency today. Should the Red Sox try to sign any of these guys??
My thoughts are:
Giambi - no. He is either a DH or 1B from a position standpoint & we have guys there now. I think he would be too expensive as well.
Pavano - maybe. If he would take a Colon type of deal with incentives, both sides may have nothing to lose. He might be a low-cost additional starter. The Sox would need to make sure his arm is healthy.
Mussina - no. He is too old & probably looking for too much money coming off his best year in the last ten.
I think that the Sox will look for improvement without spending a fortune in a 2009 year which is forecasting less revenue because of the economy. Maybe getting the current players healthy is the best off-season activity right now.
