It's no secret we need more speed and a better on base guy at the top. Choo and Ellsbury are free agents. I expect us to make a run at atleast one of them. A lot of good free agent relievers, and one that I want first and foremost is Joe Nathan. Great track record in the central and appears ageless. Re-sign Benoit to be the set-up man again, and sign Matt Thornton as a lefty out of the pen. That would make this pen pretty damn good, and neither should be all that expensive. Throw in a healthy Rondon.. hell yeah. Get one of either Choo or Elllsbury, and our lineup finally has the ability to produce runs without hitting the ball. If we can sign both guys, trade Jackson before we have to make the decision to re-sign him. We could also get away with trading Scherzer for more speed or a better option at 2nd base with prospects.
