The line-up is too righthanded in the power slots and bringing in Votto would help balance things. Although Hanley did well at 1B last year he is perfect for the DH role and Votto would be a gold glover at 1B. Plus, it is highly unlikely all their prospects make it so moving some of them n a deal should not be out of the question!

Not sure if this has been brought up by anyone at this point, since I have not read through all 33 pages of this post, but I wonder if Dombrowski would consider reaching out to the Reds and give up a few top prospects for Joey Votto? I believe it would make sense to get another strong lefty bat in the line-up to retain balance, plus it would move Hanley into a full-time DH role which might be what he wants at this stage. Assuming this happened the line-up would be: - Pedroia 2B - Benintendi/Young -LF - Betts RF - Votto 1B - Ramirez DH - Bogaerts - SS - Sandoval/Shaw 3B - Swihart/Leon C - Bradley Jr CF (if not included in deal for Votto) So the key question is whether Cincinnati decides to move Votto and what package would be fair in a deal...without selling the farm?

Maybe the Best all-around out field the Sox have ever had?

Yaz moved to 1B before Lynn reached the bigs, so Yaz, Lynn and Evans never happened on a regular basis, as others have stated RICE - LYNN - EVANS are the benchmark for Red Sox OFs - but maybe in a year or so, Bradley, Betts and ?? (Swihart/Holt or someone else) could surpass them for all-around play... ...that'll be a tall task but will be great to watch and debate.
