I was referring to next year, when Lowell and Ortiz contracts expire, I wouldn't mind bringing back Martinez as the every day DH, he is a very productive hitter and his defense wouldn't matter at DH position.
I agree.
Sox could make playoffs without Gonzalez, right now the pitching is struggling, its April 16th, way to early to tell if this team will contend or not. Lets wait till Lester comes around and some of the slumping guys start producing (Vmart, Drew).
What SS did you want the Sox to get? Alex Gonzalez? Orlando Cabrera? Scutaro is better then those guys. Ill admit, I wasn't happy with Scutaro signing at first but he's a hell of a lot better then Alex Gonzalez, Orlando Cabrera, Tejada, Jack Wilson or any of the other scrub SS's available. Scutaro will likely only hold SS down till Iglesias is ready to take over in a few years or so.
