Well, the Red Sox were finally looking like they had a fit, healthy, good ball club. That is, until CC, Ells, Ross, Mcdonald, Sweeney, and Youk went down. So we call upon the farm system for some help. Low and behold, Daniel Nava and Will Middlebrooks start cranking the ball all over the place. By far both are top 4 right now in terms of productivity. So when Ells and CC come back and Adrian goes back to first, how do we keep these hot bats in our lineup? If the're swinging the bats well, idc if Youk and CC are "star players". If you don't Produce as such, The Rookies who are should stay.

Anyone else have a take on this subject? (or cares at all? lol).

No one is going to touch Crawford's contract with a 10 foot poll. He needs to be started to regain hs value. The only way he gets traded is if he rebounds and we eat some salary, but if he rebounds, why would we even consider trading him? Same thing with Dice. We can't trade him for anything but a salary dump unless we establish some value for him.

Middlebrooks, contrary to the general RSN belief, should be sent down to the minors. The guy can rake, but Youk is not going to get anything in the market with his injury history. And he can still play.
