Boston Globe Red Sox Offseason Overview:
Gordon Edes Primes the Hot Stove
First Up, Starting Pitching
Clemens' Name Will Be Kicked Around Again
"He turned 44 in August, his name surfaced in steroids reports, and he cost the Astros $12 million to pitch just over three months last season. Still, it wouldn�t be the Rocket or the Red Sox without another round of speculation that Roger Clemens will return to Boston for the final chapter of his storied career." -- Gordon Edes Red Sox Offseason Overview

At Least Lou Gorman Would Sleep Better If the Sox
Beefed Up the Infield with 38-Year-Old Jeff Bagwell
"One announcement that might be slow in coming is a retirement declaration from Bagwell. He'll probably file for free agency as a procedural matter, just to keep his options open. As Axelrod, who is also Bagwell's agent, points out: It never hurts to be prepared just in case Boston wants to right an old wrong and bring Bagwell back for $20 million." -- 11.1.06, Jerry Crasnick, ESPN.com
But If the Senior Sox Retire Early Again in '07

Edes: Sox Rank First in Draft Class, Bard Throws Hard
"Daniel Bard, who has yet to pitch a competitive inning for the Sox after signing in late August, is the draftee drawing the most early raves, as he reached 100 miles per hour during his work in the Florida Instructional League. McLeod, who used the 28th pick overall to draft the University of North Carolina righthander, said the radar gun readings are not urban legend." -- 11.1.06, Gordon Edes, Boston Globe
