The White Sox have a DH and US Cellular is the most homer friendly park in the majors. This is going to work.

He was my top wish for the Red Sox to grab, and his name wasn't even brought up.
They let Victor Martinez go. An awful move. He was more than affordable for an offensive catcher. One of the hardest finds in baseball. They could easily have afforded him and still done whatever else they may (and probably don't) have plans for.
And unless they go and pull an Adrian Gonzalez deal (unlikely) then the off-season is pretty underwhelming.
I'm not too keen on Carl Crawford. He's a great player, but he's going to be overrated in a relatively weak crop of free agents, and he's far from the answer for the Red Sox. They need a powerhouse in the middle of the lineup. It hasn't been right since Manny left.
They have speed and great all-around players. Crawford is an asset to any team, no doubt, but I don't think he's right for the tag here.
And Werth isn't worth it. No pun intended.
They won't sign Beltre, but I'm more than okay with that.
It's almost like they should wait, but they haven't done shit in a while. They basically treated last season as a bridge year too.
Rumors are they are trying to really keep costs low to stay flexible for a sale, or just to scale back spending since they basically assume the fans will still come and they now have other ventures.
Jeritron out.
