Hot Stove So Far

9:12 am in Red Sox by PSF

So what’s in store for our World Series Champion Red Sox? Here’s what we know so far:

1B Youks
2B Pedroia
SS Lugo
3B ??
LF Manny
CF Ellsbury/Crisp
RF Drew
C Tek

P Beckett
P Schilling
P Matsuzaka
P Wakefield
P Lester/Bucholz

RP Delcarmen
RP Okijima
RP Tavarez
RP Paplebon

I’m unsure of the contract status of bench players like the black hole that is Doug Miribelli…but I’m more focused on starters right now. I’m unsure of what will happen at 3rd; I’d be surprised if the Sox offer Lowell 4 years, and I’d be surprised if someone else offers it to him and he doesn’t take it. I really, really hope ARod doesn’t end up here…yes, he’s the best player we’ve ever seen, but I don’t want to root for him. I would not be surprised to see Crisp traded somewhere. His defense has been otherworldy, but his bat has not been anywhere near what the Sox expected.

What say you?
