These could be some decent moves for the Sox. If Baldelli can get his often changing diagnosis under control, he is a nice athletic OF with some pop. He seems like a nice addition to the Sox bench.
Smoltz, who turns 42 in May, figures to be Boston's 4th starter. If he can stay healthy, he is a veteran who is a big game pitcher, and knows how to win. He won't put up the type of numbers that he has in previous years, now in the brutal AL East, but could be a solid contributor to the Red Sox. He could be a dangerous part of that team in the playoffs, given his closing experience.
