I think keeping Kevin was the right move, Millar has a much better bat and can play more then one position, given his fielding is horrible, but part of his offseason routine has been working on that (I know, everyone tries to improve in the offseason) but people forget around her multiple goldglover Wade Boggs was a horrible 3rd baseman and made himself into a gold glover, players like Yaz and Rice would spend hours at the LF wall having balls hit off it to learn every single bounce. So, I think it's possible for Millar to improve, plus Ortiz can play 1st if needed which allows Millar to play OF if needed (see: Trot's yearly injury).
I'd also expect the sox to make a move at some point for a defensive 1st baseman, like they did last year, someone to bring in late in a close game to cover 1st (see: Bill Buckner memories).

Dave McCarty is supposely a defensive 1st baseman but I'm not sold on him. Everytime I see him out he just doesn't seem comfortable or whatever. Plus I don't think the Red Sox have much faith in him either seeing how they picked up Doug M last season.
I'm alittle questionable Wells this season, I don't know, I am pretty sure he took #3 to honor Ruth. (I'm assuming he got 3, since I saw a kid wearing a Renteria jersey the other day and it was #16) And I've been here grumblings that he's upset that the Yankees didn't persue him in the off season.
