Didn't see a thread on this yet . . .
IMO, Sox should have Bard and Aceves start. (Bard was converted from a starter to a set up man and Aceves has been a decent spot starter.) Re-sign Paps and revamp the rst of the bullpen. Should be much more cost effective to get decent bullpen help than trying to load up on expensive starting pitchers.
Boston needs to trade Youk for whatever they can get for him. He seems to be too surly and has issues playing nice with others. That will leave them in need of a RF, 3B, and a DH. I would bring back Papi, but they may let him go. I don't know who's in the free agent pool this year at 3B or RF, but hopefully they can trade Youk for a right handed power hitting corner outfielder.
I doubt they can afford someone in the Pujols or Fielder class, but maybe they can get another RH bat somewhere.
Rotation of Beckett, Lester, Buchholz, Bard, Aceves could be decent enough if they continue to score a lot of runs.

The jackassery that is going on is pathetic.
Nobody I hate more in all of professional sports.
