Chone Figgins 2. Orlando Hudson 3. Carlos Quentin 4. Jermaine Dye 5. Jim Thome 6. Alexei Ramirez 7. Paul Konerko 8. AJ Pierzynski 9.

You think Chone Figgins will be out on the market immediately following spring training (which is the beginning the season..) if Fields doesn't "perform well"? And isn't he supposedly the future of the Sox? |

at first I had another lesser player that might be available mid-ST but took him out and put in figgins and forgot to edit that sentence, I should have put sign figgins and give fields a shot in ST to show something and if he does and starts out great in AAA, then trade figgins midseason. fields, he had a disappointing year in AAA and went like 4-35 in the majors this year so I don't think he should start out the year with us unless he really impresses us in ST. |

I'd sign AJ Burnett and maybe a bullpen guy, and shop around for a catcher. That's it. Try to dump Lugo's salary, Lowrie will be the starting SS in 09. Ellsbury CF Pedroia 2B Ortiz DH Youkilis 1B Bay LF Drew RF Lowell 3B Lowrie SS Varitek C (or if we find someone better) Lester/Beckett/Burnett/DiceK/Buchholz/Wake Papelbon/Delcarmen/Masterson/Lopez/Okajima/d00ds Idk what we'd do with Bowden though if we signed Burnett...I'd probably lay off Burnett if the price got too high, for that reason. Look ahead at 2010: Ellsbury CF Pedroia 2B Ortiz DH Anderson 1B Bay LF Youk 3B ? RF Lowrie SS ? C |

Sign Burnett, trade for one of the Texas catches preferably Teagerden, sign Varitek to a 1 or 2 year deal, sign some bullpen j00bs. And look into Holliday. |

Acquire Dan Uggla. With this acquisition he would [maybe?] be better fit to fill our 3B vacancy instead of Peralta. Or if that doesn't happen, we should bring back Casey Blake. Sign C.C. Sabathia. or Sign A.J. Burnett. or Sign Derrek Lowe or Oliver Perez Sign Eric Gagne or (dare I say it?) K-Rod. Sign Milton Bradley Pat Burrell is wayyyyy too much money.... 14 mil for a .250 hitter? You can get a lot better with Bradley at a far cheaper price. 1. Grady Sizemore -- CF 2. Asdrubal Cabrera -- 2B/SS 3. Jhonny Peralta -- SS 4. Victor Martinez -- 1B 5. Milton Bradley -- DH 6. Shin-Soo Choo -- RF 7. Kelly Shoppach -- C 8. Casey Blake -- 3B 9. Ben Francisco? -- LF (The swap of Asdrubal and Blake would also definitely work, perhaps better than where it currently is) or: 1. Grady Sizemore -- CF 2. Asdrubal Cabrera -- 2B 3. Jhonny Peralta -- SS 4. Victor Martinez -- 1B 5. Milton Bradley -- DH 6. Dan Uggla -- 3B 7. Shin-Soo Choo -- RF 8. Kelly Shoppach -- C 9. Ben Francisco? -- LF 1. Cliff Lee 2. A.J. Burnett 3. Fausto Carmona 4. Derrek Lowe 5. Scott Lewis? |

Our payroll is set to be at 180, so I have nearly 60-70 million to work with. My first move would be to Sign CC. Give him anything. 140-150 IDC. Lets say he gets 25 million a year though. I still have 45 million. I pick up Marte at 6 and sign Tex at 165/8. Lets say just over 20 million. With my extra 18 or 19 million. I guess 3 or 4 will go to arbi. Free up some money with trading Damon to the Cubs for Hill and Vitters. Trade for Holliday and Corpas(Thanks for the idea KTF) Those two for hughes, McAllister, Veras and Igawa(plus money to cover his salary). Sign Mitre to a MiLD. Gardner CF Jeter SS A-rod 3B Tex 1B Holliday LF Posada C Nady RF Matsui DH Cano 2B Molina, Duncan, Ranson and JC CC, Wang, Moose, Joba and Hill Mo, Bruney, Melancon, Marte, Coke, Corpas and Ramirez Thats what I'd do if I was the GM. |

Trade Brian Roberts, Aubrey Huff, Melvin Mora for prospects (pitching, middle infield) Sign Mark Teixeira longterm and Felipe Lopez 2 to 3 years take a sniff at Ryan Dempster and Brad Penny to see if he has any interest and sign either of them to a 2 to 3 year contract if they would like to come. We should not express any interest at all in AJ Burnett or Orlando Cabrera. Keep sticking with the prospects. |

and yet you think we have a 1st baseman in the minors? Scott Moore hit .216 Brandon Snyder is a long way to go, and other than them we have nobody at 1st base in our minors. Teix is the only way because we have no 1st base prospects. |

So draft some. Signing a Type A free agent on a rebuilding club makes no sense. You loose draft picks, he isn't going to push you into the post season. Signing makes no sense. |

the odds of pulling someone like Teix out of the draft isn't too pleasing, Angelos is willing to give Teix a stab and Teix's not really that old either. He'll anchor this team with his slugger presence, and there's no telling how long it'll take for the 2009 draftee to blossom in the majors, and we'll need a slugger badly to compete in AL East |
