I like the Stanton idea, but I worry that our lineup could be getting RHH heavy. The projected one from SoxProspects has only 2 LHH and one SH, with another SH and LHH on the bench (plus whoever is the IF utility.) Losing Ells, Drew and Salty, and potentially benching one of Victorino or Nava, even when adding Bradley seems tough. My relevant point is that a LHH 1B is ideal, although you could also do a platoon there and at C, plus Holt is indeed a LHH backup IF. Kiss Bogaerts goodbye and about 3 other of our top prospects. I really want Xander to be apart of our future. If Miami decides to trade Stanton I don't think the Sox would have yo give up Bogaerts to get him. No other team has a player of that caliber to offer, so the Sox don't have to offer him.

Just because the Marlins might accept two or three lesser prospects from other teams, that does not mean that the Marlins will accept an offer from the Red Sox that does not include Bogaerts. Bogaerts would be the guy who makes the Red Sox package better than what others are offering. The Cardinals for instance could easily beat anything the Red Sox have to offer, even if the Red Sox include Bogaerts.

Jurickson Profar says hi. I wouldn't trade Bogaerts for Stanton anyway. The leg issues are scary in a player that young, and if you're trading a top five prospect in baseball, you HAVE to be right.

1B is the least of my worries. You can sign someone to fill that spot in the FA market every year.
