I be happy if the Sox sign him for no more than two years at market value. <br /><br />I suspect that part of what drives their decision is what they do with Yook. He doesn't have too many quality years left in the hot corner, and so if he remains with the Sox, I see a lot of DHing in his future. If the Sox move Yook, look for them to keep Ortiz. If they keep Yook, I would't be that surprised if the Sox let Papi walk and split 3B with Yook and the new guy (whose name escapes me at the moment - something like Alaverez?)gibsonmeigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094122509371844728noreply@blogger.com
