Of course, that too could be posturing, though I will be surprised if the Sox let the Angels outbid them.

And that's the problem, really. The Sox shouldn't be in that mode for a player they don't really need. I guarantee Lowell isn't going to get traded, so their payroll then becomes Yankees-esque, and you can kiss goodbye any sympathy people may still have for the Sox not having a Yanks' payroll.

Of course, all that aside, hell, you would have Teixeira, hard not to ignore other consequences if you have that.
