But the rest of their moves they acquired a bunch of Win now players without the pitching staff do come close to doing so

 

Boston media thinks Lester is returning to Boston. Hopefully they are wrong but the week leading up to the trade smells rotten.

They have really re-tooled their roster to make a run next year. They need to add back a starting pitcher, but will have loads of money to chase Lester and Scherzer both after the season. Moving Drew lets them put Bogaerts at SS the rest of the season and try out Cecchini/Middlebrooks/Holt at 3B options

 

C Vazquez

1B Napoli

2B Pedroia

SS Bogaerts

3B Holt/Cecchini/Middlebrooks

RF Cespedes

CF Victorino

LF Craig

DH Ortiz/Craig

 

SP FA Pitcher 1

SP FA Pitcher 2/Ranaudo

SP Joe Kelly

I think Dempster is done. I read something that claimed the Red Sox were actually thinking about making Jose Abreu a third basemen if they signed him. It kind of makes you wonder with the ability he has shown at first base, and the transformation of his body, they expect him to drop 15 more pounds by next season, if the White Sox might think never say never to something similar. I would doubt it. Why tinker with what is working, and his chronic foot issues probably wouldn't be aided.

It's not worth it.

 

Don't want to try to get him to slim down more to play 3B, work on his agility and then end up hurting his ankle somehow. With those quick movements/reflexes to the left and right, and diving more than at third, just not a good idea at all.
