Do the Red Sox still do the Beckett trade if they know what Hanley Ramirez would be?

I do agree that next offseason the Red Sox should really look at getting a cleanup guy. Youk and Pedroia are amazing all around ballplayers, but they work better when they're surrounding a guy like Manny was, and they see way better pitches.
That's when the Sox lineup is dominant.

Bay will be up for free agency. It really depends on how he does in the next couple months. Last month was great, but this month has been awful for him.
Unless he has a monster run through the postseason I think they might be better off letting his salary go and looking for a new powerhouse.
