Found July 02, 2009 on Fire Brand American League:
PLAYERS: Jason Bay,  Josh Beckett
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox

New Poll Question:Who is more important for the Red Sox to extend past their current contracts?Jason BayJosh BeckettIt's very likely that both JB's could end up staying in Boston past their current contracts, but if you were held feet to the fire and forced to choose just one right now, who would it be?As always, new poll is up to the right...vote away and argue it out in the comments.Previous Poll Results:With Smoltz ready, Buchholz antsy and Daisuke struggling, where do the Red Sox turn?Not a big surprise here and as per usual, the Fire Brand community was on the ball on this one.

Via Mighty Quinn Media Machine  |  July 01, 2009
