    In response to Leftfielder61's comment:

    Saw his name mentioned in the BoSox banter blog. He is only 26, A former 1st round draft pick, a switch hitter with power and not eligible for free agency until 2017.

    The Mariners have Kendry Morales, Jesus Montero and Raul Ibanez so he could be available cheap. I am thinking we could offer them a bullpen arm like Mortenson, Brittan or Alex Wilson.

    Is he is worth a look?

     




    Have to agree. Still young would be a good complement to Napoli, a good glove and late game defensive replacement. Highly regarded prospect coming up who has been stuck in Safeco the last few years who might blossom getting out of that park. Not a bad idea at all, but is he really available. Of the guys you mention, most would seem to be DH's at this point. Maybe Morales could play 1st but not sure if leg is up to it everyday? Montero C/DH Ibanez OF/DH maybe Montero could become 1b not sure how good defensively.
