I think Lowell is likely to be back but the Sox won't go crazy - if bidding goes to a 4th year they take the picks and smile from ear to ear.

Either Tavarez or Timlin returns but not both.

Josh - what kind of picks will they be looking at for Gagne? I think he'll be on the first train out of town and it's tough to blame him.

I think they'll finally let Mirabelli go - after all, it's far from clear right now if Wakefield is even in the picture for next year. Obviously Clement is gone too.

Schilling comes back on a one year incentive-laden deal, fulfilling more or less the role that Wakefield does now. Beckett-Matsuzaka-Buchholz-Schilling-Lester is a sexy rotation. I also think Daisuke steps it up next year the way Beckett did this year, leaving no doubt that he's a top 5-10 starter in the AL.
