I wouldn't either...but someone will IMO.

Semien and one of Max/Rodon/Gausman/Ray.

LaRoche and Dunn left many Sox fans with a bad taste for NL players IMO.

I still vote for #3. Three years for 12-15 million.

You are correct...pitching is much more important.

Do we have a 2nd baseman? Do we have satisfactory pitching both starting and relief? Do we have a solid defensive catcher? If the answer to my questions is yes...sure let's get a high-grade right fielder. My first priorities are 2nd base and pitching (both starter and relief). The resources are not limitless IMO. If we cash Vaughn or Eloy in for trade value we would be selling low in all probabilities. I am just trying to field the best team with the situation we have.

Thanks for the clarification.

If you have approximately 75 million available to have top-line signings for RF, 2nd base, and SP...go sign Conforto or whoever you think is this dream player for RF. Those of us who what the Vaughn/Sheets/Engel right field combo in order to use the available money elsewhere are living in the real world IMO.

And Engel after we have built a double-digit lead.

Vaughn/Sheets/Engel in RF and Vaughn/Sheets/Grandal/Eloy/Abreu as DH by committee. Use available resources on 2nd base and pitching.

Agreed!

Have a great holiday and remember to not overeat. We need to stay lean and mean for all our work over the next few days.

Amen!

I hear you.

I agree with you on Sheets.
