The sox have a great supply of right handed pitching and corner fielders and dhers.
The sox need middle infielders, veteran leadership, lefty bats, and a bonafide lead off hitter.
Paul Sullivan suggests picking up Ventura to help him revive his career and rebuild the fan base. Is Robin washed up or does he need a change of venue?
Ventura could replace Perry as Crede insurance. The emergence of Tim Hummel as a ml batter provides and option for both 2b and 3b but not ss.
Valentin is a leader and a decent bat but management was right seek a defensive upgrade at ss. He could still manage 400 abs as a super infielder utility man at 3B 2B & SS.
Durham will be in the last year of his contract next season so its worth seeing if that motivation moves his play up a notch. This season has been his first major back slide, is it a trend or an abberation?
Rowand and Borchard seem the real thing at the plate but will either pan out as a CF. Add Mario Valensula who has had a major breakout season and you have a huge glut at the corners.
Of Rowand Borchard Lee Leifer Ordonez Valensula who to keep and who to deal for that leadoff slick fielding shortstop.
Konerko and Lee should both be kept until Frank shows whether his injury has diminished skills. If he comes back roaring one will need to go to benefit the player and the Sox.
Pitching thinned by injuries this year should be fairly deep in comparison to other teams.
Will Simas be resigned? Can Corwin Malone move as quickly through the system as Burly? He's having one hell of a season and all the majors seem to move lefties along asap. Osuna and Barcelo can be great mid relief if they recover. Barcelo especially may never get over his series of arm problems.
Guerrier, Almonte, Wylie also will merit a close look in spring not to mention Wunsch, Parque, Biddle, Ginter, Wells, and Lowe if he continues to slide.
Burly, Wright, and Garland seem to be the core of a great rotation at least this week. A veteran presence may help calm the growing pains of all these young arms.
Packaging pitching and corner fielders in several trades and free agent signings should seek to net a leadoff hitter that plays ss or cf, another lefty bat for Leifer insurance, and a veteran mid rotation starter.
Youve gotta give something to get something.
