RSN held hostage

Peter Gammons pipes in with his thoughts on the Matsuzaka negotiations. I have commented at a couple of places that I think that Boras wants to destroy the posting system and is using Matsuzaka as the player to do this. He keeps on pointing out that this player is better than Schmidt, Zito etc., so the sox should be willing to go to 18 to 20 mil. for Dice K. While I agree that he is a better pitcher than the Lily's and so forth, is he better than Schilling? Is he better than Pettitte?

I really feel that this is not going to get done, Boras thinks he's Curt Flood, and the bird of prey is circling the Sox front office.
