Syble Townsel's blog ::My all time LEAST favorite Red Sox roster










The               Boston               Red               Sox               didn't               reach               the               postseason               in               2010,               which               doesn't               sit               well               with               the               team               or               its               fans.

So,               heading               into               the               offseason,               what               does               Red               Sox               management               do               over               the               winter               to               find               a               way               to               get               past               the               Tampa               Bay               Rays               and               the               New               York               Yankees               in               the               American               League               East               and               get               back               on               the               path               to               another               World               Series?

The               question               marks               surrounding               the               Red               Sox               roster               this               offseason               revolve               mostly               around               free               agent               decisions.

The               first               was               answered               recently               when               the               Red               Sox               exercised               their               $12.5               million               on               designated               hitter               David               Ortiz               for               2011,               keeping               him               off               the               free               agent               market.
               But               general               manager               Theo               Epstein               and               the               Red               Sox               have               to               make               decisions               on               a               pair               of               free               agent               players               that               led               the               team               in               2010.

Depending               on               whether               they               can               keep               those               players               in               Boston               uniforms               moving               forward,               the               Red               Sox               will               then               have               to               decide               how               they               will               use               their               considerable               resources               to               pursue               other               teams'               free               agents,               or               whether               they'll               try               to               build               from               within               with               young               players               of               their               own.
               Here               are               the               key               players               in               the               Red               Sox               free               agent               planning               this               offseason.
               Adrian               Beltre               -               3B
               Epstein               made               one               of               the               smartest               free               agent               moves               of               last               offseason               by               signing               the               former               Mariner               to               a               low-cost               one-year               contract.

Beltre               responded               with               a               28               HR,               102               RBI               season               and               played               his               customary               stellar               defense               to               reestablish               his               value               on               the               free               agent               market.

Now               what?

Do               the               Red               Sox               make               a               long-term               commitment?

Do               they               move               Jed               Lowrie               to               third               after               his               impressive               late-season               performance?

Much               will               depend               here,               as               is               usually               the               case               with               Red               Sox               free               agent               negotiations,               on               what               offers               are               forthcoming               from               other               teams.

There               are               rumblings               that               Beltre               only               wants               to               play               on               the               west               coast.

Boston               may               not               be               willing               to               commit               to               the               number               of               years               that               a               team               like               the               Los               Angeles               Angels               might.
               Victor               Martinez               -               C
               The               free               agent               catching               market               is               thin               this               year,               and               Martinez               is               definitely               the               cream               of               the               crop.

The               red               Sox               may               have               doubts               about               his               defense,               or               his               ability               to               remain               at               catcher               as               he               ages.

They               like               his               versatility,               but               have               a               bit               of               a               logjam               at               his               other               positions               -               1B               (Kevin               Youkilis)               and               DH               (Ortiz).

This               may               also               come               down               to               whether               the               Red               Sox               can               get               Martinez               on               a               three-year               deal               or               whether               another               team               -               like               Detroit               or               Colorado               -               offers               a               longer-term               deal.

If               Epstein               can't               sign               Martinez,               the               Red               Sox               may               take               the               draft               pick               compensation               they'd               receive               if               the               free               agent               signed               elsewhere               and               go               with               Jarrod               Saltalamacchia               and               veteran               Jason               Varitek               instead.
               Depending               on               the               resolution               of               negotiations               with               Beltre               and               Martinez,               the               Red               Sox               could               set               their               sights               on               other               high-profile               free               agents.
               Cliff               Lee               -               P
               He's               the               top               free               agent               by               any               measure,               but               Lee               is               perhaps               the               least               likely               big               name               to               end               up               in               Boston.

After               committing               to               long               term               contract               for               free               agent               john               Lackey               and               veteran               Josh               Beckett               last               year,               it               is               unlikely               that               the               Red               Sox               would               spend               what               it               takes               to               lock               up               Lee.
               Carl               Crawford               -               OF
               Crawford               is               considered               the               top               free               agent               hitter               available               this               year.

The               speedy               Tampa               Bay               Rays               star               would               be               a               solid               number-three               hitter               in               the               Red               Sox               lineup               and               a               defensive               upgrade               in               left               field.

But               he's               a               left-handed               hitter               with               decent               but               not               outstanding               power,               and               may               not               be               the               best               fit               for               the               Red               Sox's               needs.

They               have               cheaper               alternatives               who               are               projected               to               put               up               similar               numbers               -               like               Ryan               Kalish,               who               was               impressive               after               his               late-season               call               up.

Crawford               may               command               more               money               that               the               Red               Sox               want               to               spend               and               not               address               their               greatest               need.
               Jayson               Werth               -               OF
               Much               of               the               same               rationale               against               signing               a               free               agent               outfielder               applies               to               Werth.

However,               he's               a               right-handed               hitter               who               would               benefit               from               Boston's               Green               Monster.

He's               more               of               a               pure               power               hitter               than               Crawford,               though               he               would               be               a               comparable               defensive               upgrade               in               left               field.

He               might               also               be               a               significantly               less               expensive               free               agent               than               Crawford,               and               therefore               more               appealing               to               the               Red               Sox.
