With every HR Gonzalez hits...his price goes up.

The problem with that argument is that good pitchers still do get significantly more attendance than bad pitchers. Remember when Manny went to the dodgers, and attendance increased about 4000 a game? And that's every game, not 1 in 5.

I don't think we really need to add power to the lineup. I would definitely like to stack on a bit more contact and OBP though.

 

I think I'd rather have another really good disciplined hitter, a Dustin Pedroia type if you will, in the lower echelons of the lineup, than another big thumper. I wonder what it would take to talk the Royals out of Alberto Callaspo. Probably more than we're prepared to pay, but he's exactly the kind of player I think we need and if they get shortsighted about Gordon's diminishing potential I'd grab him and play him at 3B in a heartbeat.

 

Callaspo is a good player, but I don't think he's the type of impact player that will put the Sox over the top. The Sox need more thunder, IMO. Dunn and Gonzalez fit the bill.

This is the diplomatic way to spell it out.
