I have been watching all the names that are bantered around talk shows & TV as to how the Red Sox can improve their roster for 2010 to compete with the Yankees. Today, instead, how about looking at two players who will be in a Red Sox uniform for the next several years?
The team of Curt Schilling, Manny Ramirez & David Ortiz is now the team of Dustin Pedroia & Kevin Youkilis. Both were signed to multi-year deals in last year's off season. Along with Jon Lester, these two everyday players are now the equivalent of Derek Jeter for Boston. You can expect both to be in the lineup on a daily basis (something J.D. Drew could learn) & both to hussle, get dirty & give it their all. Petey & Youk, like Jeter, are throwbacks to an age where you ran out all your hits & tried your best until the last out.
We are lucky to have both players on the team for the next several years.
