http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2002/1109/1458361.html In my opinion, I would try to get Billy Beane at all costs if I was John Henry. Simply the best GM in the game of baseball. Think of what he did with Oakland's payroll, then imagine what kind of a team he could build in Boston. I would rather get Beane than some extremely expensive free agent who may or may not make that much of an impact. Besides, the Red Sox farm system is terrible. Beane could definitely do something about that.
