Tito and Theo held a press conference today and gave some answers about the 2010 Red Sox:

• The starting rotation looks like it will be Lester, Beckett, Dice-K, Buchholz, and Wakefield.
• Victor Martinez is the starting catcher, the team may or may not pick up Tek's option.
• Lowrie could be the starting shortstop but Gonzalez may be back.

The biggest issue of the offseason is going to be Jason Bay and the rest of the offense.  After the lack of hitting in the ALDS you have to wonder if the team can compete next year with mostly the same group of players.  Theo has been relitively quiet at the winter meetings the past two years but it would not be surprising if he made a major shake-up with a big trade. Let's hear your thoughts in the new forum thread on the offseason.

	... I'd pay JayBay what is necessary to keep him and also keep Gonzo and Pap. I'd say goodbye to Big Papi, Lowell and Veritek and probably Wake.

	Hell ya! I am psyched for V-Mart behind the plate for a full year. JayBay needs to be in left field, there are few options that would work for me otherwise but my ears are open. Gonzo can come back too. Tek... I would give him his $5M just to take over for Brad Mills. He is obviously a coach now whether he takes BP or not. http://www.4SportBoston.com

	... I would keep bay but if we keep him we are going to have to improve offensevely at shortstop and get a guy like Miguel Tejada for a year or two....or.... we can sign matt holliday and that way we would have a true #4 hitter...
