man Redsox need a top pitcher and if Lester, Shields and Scherzer neither come to Boston, it would suck completely.

having said that i do like Pablo in Redsox uniform. but pitching should be top priority.

Lester and Scherzer #1 and #2 in some order clearly.

 

HanRam is the best position player in this class by a good margin - although if he insists on playing shortstop that could knock him below Sandoval in my eyes. VMart is too high in the OP rankings here with his inability to play a position.

One could be acquired by trade.

Just read on mlbtr that his camp is saying he will play 3B or wherever there is a need. That is going to expand his market. The article also said the Sox had been in contact with his agents. So he may be a back up plan to Panda at 3B.
