Free agents the Red Sox might pursue

Derrek Lee, first baseman, Atlanta Braves 2010 stats: .260/.347/.428 SLG/19 HR/80 RBIs We probably won't ever see the 2005 version of Lee (.335/.418/.662 SLG/46 home runs/107 RBIs), the one who finished third in the NL MVP voting, ever again. Lee turns 35 next year and is coming off a down year after being traded by the Cubs to the Braves at midseason. With the Braves, he hit .287 with an .849 OPS, slightly below his career average. He's still a good defensive first baseman and just last year hit 35 home runs and had 111 RBIs.
