Are the Red Sox done with their lineup? Will there be other moves? One's answer to these questions would need to be based on which opinion you hold: 1. Is this a bridge/rebuilding year or 2. Are they trying to win now?
The Sox just completed a 3-year deal for Shane Victorino. That's the third multi-year contract they've handed out this off-season. Why do all these multi-year deals if you have younger guys ready to go? Why go from Cody Ross to Shane Victorino, especially with other teams driving the latter's price up?
Put me in the camp of the Sox think they can make a run with this new look team. So, to me, they aren't done wheeling and dealing. As of now here is their opening day lineup:
C Saltalamachhia/David Ross
That's a pretty deep lineup, a little weak at the bottom, but they are not done. They are in a position to deal Salty and have Ross teach Lavarnway how to call a game. They could trade Ellsbury. There are still outfielders to be had. And let's not forget the Victorino is a natural CF. Swisher and Hamilton may still be in play.
The school of thought out there is that they need another starter. But what if Lackey's woes were because of his injury? Would a 1-2-3 of Lester, Buchholz, and Lackey be horrible? The answer is no, but it wouldn't be enough against the pitching depth of the Yankees and Rays in the AL East, not to mention the other Wild Card competitors. So they need another top of the rotation guy. They obviously have major league talent to trade for it. Ellsbury could bring you that. And, heck, Greinke is still out there as a FA.
Put me in the column of "The Sox have a plan". They have a lot of flexibility, and signing all of these guys to 3-year deals makes it seem like they aren't mailing it in for one year to wait for the youngsters...
