If you figure Beckham can play either 2nd or 3rd, which he can, then you go out and find the best 2B or 3B that you can find. Yes, the best 3B usually hit better than the best 2B, but those guys are rare and the Sox haven't had one since, well, Melton for a couple of years? |

Ventura and Crede both put up some good numbers---I dont remember who played 2b during the Ventura years (Durham)?--but Crede and Iguchi were about the same with the bat

That halo's getting duller and duller. A kid's going to come along and he'll be benched and/or traded. Sanchez may be that kid.

It took Crede a while to shorten his swing, but in that case patience was rewarded.

Some of the better AL teams like NY, Boston, Texas, Detroit and probably now Baltimore all seem to have acquired or developed power at 3rd. |

Viciedo is a good LF/RF
Beckham was actually a better 3B than he was 2B. If Beckham can play great 3B, Hit .270/15/70 that's fine for me at 3B. LF- Viciedo SS- Ramirez 1B- Konerko DH- Dunn 2B/3B- Beckham 2B/3B- Sanchez CF- DeAza I'll take into next year......move rios, get a catcher. Napoli would be nice.

Not to sound too "MoneyBall"
But the Sox simply don't get on base..... .318 OB% TEAM Our SS/2B combined for a .249/.290/.366 Once again I'm excited about our arms coming back though. I would attempt to move Floyd but the 9.5M is considered a deal in todays market. Holes: C, 3B, 2B, (soon to be 1B/DH) if Paulie calls it quits soon. I like Napoli to be in a Sox uni/ he can catch, DH, 1B.....Wouldn't pay more than 10M for him, he rarely plays more than 115-130 games |

But the Sox don't have an obp philosophy. Guillen preferred runner on 3rd, 1 out to runner on 2nd no out; and I"m not convinced this organization disagreed with him. |

Meaning that he preferred to bunt? I think Robin kind of took the opposite approach this year and bunted less...whatever the stance though if you don't hit with RISP then it doesn't matter anyway.

The Sox last year hit one of the lowest percentages of solo HR in the AL.

And as they say, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Most people doing projections weigh second half numbers as an indicator as to how the player will do the following season. |

Youk slowed down, De Aza was injured and benched some, and then came the cave-in. |
