It’s time for a fresh start. With the departure of Francona and Epstein, Ortiz’s contract expiration, and a handful of big money free agent failures, it’s time to reboot. It was a good run - the best run the Sox have ever seen from a GM/Manager combo. Tito and Theo are first ballot hall of famers and will be missed dearly. But life goes on and spring training is only a few months away, so it’s back to the drawing board. First off, I love Ortiz, Wakefield, and Varitek. They are members of the memorable Sox team of ‘04 - to forever be remembered as the greatest Red Sox team in history. I want them in a Sox uniform until the day they die, whether it be as a player, coach, or manager. But if they go the player route, no multi-year million dollar contracts. They’re old, past their prime, and injury prone. Limit risk, but respect their contribution to Red Sox lore. Now for the flops - Matsuzaka, Lackey, Drew, and Crawford. Eat their contracts. Yes, eat them. Trade those guys, take the hit, chalk it up as a loss. Bring up some guys from Pawtucket that are young, athletic, hungry, and cheap. Pedroia, Ellsbury, Youkilis, and Lester - all of them are all-star, home-grown talent.  Lavarnway, Kalish, Nava, and Reddick are the stars of the future. No need to go out and buy big ticket free agents, that except for Adrian Gonzalez, have all proven to be money down the drain. Let’s reboot the 2012 team with younger talent, a new manager, a new GM, and say good bye to a worn-out, egocentric, group of over paid flops. The best part is, it’s simple, saves money, and makes perfect sense.
