i doubt it. Manny and Blake appear to be great signing thus far (and we got Manny for FREE, as Boston picked up the entire7 million owed to Manny for the rest of the season).
and even if Manny and Blake walk we got 4 1st round Draft Picks for them and all we gave up was the often injured Andy LaRoache
they had a decent amount of prospects led by Tim Alderson.
you what you are saying is there is no plan, just a general idea that some1 threw out there and others are running with.
who in the hell is Matis? also Accardo is a reliever. relieveres become relievers for 1 of 3 reasons.
1. they have 1 dominant pitch and strong mental makeup. these usually become great closers.
2. not good enough to start or close. struggle 2nd time around order. no changeups. lack of 3 +pitches
3. lefty or submarine specialists

Koruda and Kent are NOT overpaid.
Koruda has had an ERA in the High 3's for 80% of the year....if thats overpaid to you i fear you have no idea what a solid pitcher. Maybe Johan Santana is average in your opinion?
pierre gets us 200 hits and 50 some odd stolen bases while rarely if ever missing a game.....how is that overpaid? just because our farm system has produced some "better" outfielders that can/are outproducing Pierre doesnt mean he is overpaid........but if you consider him overpaid then what does that say for Randy Winn who is making about 800K more a year than Pierre and is your best outifelder?
