The shortstop for the Toronto Blue Jays???
Yes indeed.
So on my daily religious check of such websites as Nesn.com and Boston.com, I stumbled upon a slide show of the 11 people the Red Sox should get in the off season. Shall I share?
Alright!
1) Jason Bay - Um YEAH. 4 years at 60 million dollars. Fine. Get him. (Please sign J-Bomb, for the love of all that is holy, you're making me nervous!)
2) Adrian Gonzalez - Alright! He would be a nice asset. Wouldn't mind it!
3) Felix Hernandez - Seattle's pitcher who went 19-5 with a 2.49 ERA? Yes please. I mean, imagine our rotation with that extra 'umpf'. Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, Felix Hernandez, Dice-K (?), Tim Wakefield (?). It would be a constant rotation of screwing with the opponent's batter's minds (aka Holy Terror Pitching Staff).
4) Matt Holliday - Another good prospect to think about if Jason Bay skips town (don't you dare!).
5) Roy Halladay - Meh. He's good. I like him. Just don't trade Buchholz for him.
6) Adrian Beltre - No thank you. Don't get me wrong readers, he's a good player. But I would rather see Mike Lowell and Youk play were they are. If Lowell needs a day off, put Youk on third and Victor Martinez on first. George Kottaras or Varitek can catch.
7)Johnny Damon - No.
8) Marco Scutaro - I really like this guy. After watching him play when the Sox met with Toronto...he's earned the affectionate nickname of Scoots. If my roommate and I give a player a nickname, they're in. Yes, hes 33 but hes hella good. Plus with the shortstop position in limbo, we need a guy in there who is consistent.
9)Josh Willingham - He seems like a player that might thrive at Fenway given the chance, but he may be just a bargaining chip for another team.
10) John Lackey - 7.1 Innings of scoreless relief, impressive. We can never have too much pitching, I guess.
11) Bobby Abreu - Well he just signed with the Angels, so this is pointless.
There ya have it folks. What do you think? Is there anyone else you think we should get/look at/pursue?
