I think the Sox will look a whole lot different come Aug. 1.
Lindstrom, Peavy, Rios, Alexei, De Aza, Crain, and a wildcard or two (Reed, and maybe a name not mentioned).
After all is said and done, the sox should have added prospects at 3b, SS, C, a power hitting OF near major league ready, a toolsy OFer, and Startingpitching.
I'll go Peavy, Rios, and Lindstrom and that's it...maybe a minor leaguer or two included to spice up some deals.
Crain needs to pitch before the Sox get anything for him.
Alexei---money will kill any deal.
De Aza---they'll ask for too much, and end up keeping him.
I hope there are a lot of deals, but I'm just not getting my hopes up.
