Re: Red Sox roster predictions
I agree with your general idea about AL/NL pitchers, but I think you are overapplying it here, beckett is just a much better player than arroyo even given the switching leagues compensation. Beckett is good enough/young enough, and arroyo is just not that special a pitcher and is not going to approve.

Also, don't act like money doesn't matter to the Red Sox. If money didn't matter, we'd have Johnny Damon in CF.

You can't compare not signing an old johnny damon to a 4 year, 13 million a year contract to whether a young pitcher like beckett is worth an additional 4-5m a year. totally different things, and my comment was specifically saying that the red sox can easily afford to pay beckett that much money and it will be worth it, not that the red sox can easily afford anythign they want.
