Our current SS is making 1 million/yr. I'd love to see Miggy here too, but that was before this season. I know he'd be happy beside Ortiz and everything, but Gonzo has been hitting about .400 this month, he's made 1 error all year, and he's a huge part of the success of this infield defense. The Sox have a chance to make it 10 straight games tonight, and we're 2.5 ahead of NY. Why fix something that isn't broken? MDC and Hansen can be contributors this year. I wouldn't mind parting with Pedroia to get Tejada here, but I wouldn't give up MDC and Hansen. We need the bullpen to be strong. Those 2 guys aren't the future anymore, they're part of the present as well, and they're doing a pretty good job holding their spots down.
I'd love to have him, but not for what it would cost. This team is winning without him, and I don't feel like changing that. I know that you said that those 3 players were a start, but there's no way they'd settle for Alvarez in there, especially being in the AL East. They'd want a MDC, Hansen, and a Lester and then Pedroia to replace Miggy. They have Mazzone over there now, and while I do think they'd like Clement, they'd also want one of our young guys that is currently making an impact at the big league level for us.
