I agree that the Sox FO would not pay such a steep price for Roberts. If you remember the price for pitching got a little too high at the trading deadline this past season, so the FO ended up doing nothing. The same result is not an impossibility with regard to the CF hole. I wouldn't be so sure that they will fill the CF spot with a productive player, especially if they keep procrastinating. It's obvious that they need one or to more OFers to start the season, but it doesn't seem that they will come cheap.
