If BoSox were Patriots:
2. Belichick would have understood Pedro's significance on and off the field, as well as: (A) Pedro's desire for an extension last season (which was about pride more than anything), (B) the lack of reliable starters on the market that December, (C) Pedro's potential appeal to a big-market team that would overpay for him (like the Mets) ... and he would have signed him to a fair extension last year. I don't think Pedro was worth $54 million for four years, but they could have had him for Schilling money last year. To sign one and expect the other to stick around was downright dumb, if that was even the intention in the first place (personally, I think they wanted him out).
