Add a fourth outfielder
When Coco Crisp was traded earlier this offseason, it opened up a big hole on the Sox' bench. The Sox are in need of someone to fill his shoes, but they'll be hard to fill. Crisp was a switch hitter, played stellar defense, and was among the hottest hitters in the league at the end of last season. Mark Kotsay, who finished the year with the Sox, remains a free agent, but he's said to be looking for a full-time job. Other free agent options include Gabe Kapler, Willie Taveras, Rocco Baldelli, and Eric Hinske.
