Boston looking for long and short-term help
While the Sox have obvious needs in the bullpen and starting lineup one major league evaluator indicated yesterday that the Sox have inquired with many clubs about potential prospects at catcher and shortstop. The Sox have long-term needs at both those areas given the age of catcher Jason Varitek (36) and the relatively disappointing performance of shortstop Julio Lugo. As for their short-term needs, the Sox are among many clubs closely monitoring Mark Teixeira, who is approaching free agency and could be dealt this month unless Atlanta's fortunes take a dramatic turn for the better, indicating some concern about the health of designated hitter David Ortiz. As for the Sox' obvious need for a setup man, according to one source, the Sox' ideal reliever would be left-handed, suggesting they might be players for either Pittsburgh's Damaso Marte or Colorado's Brian Fuentes

Lugo getting cut would mean an unpleasant afternoon for Mrs Lugo if history is to repeat itself. Lugo and Brett Myers could team up and smack the snot out of every wife on the eastern seaboard.

Who's available at SS? A quick look at teams those outside the AL East andout of contention shows not much out there. Seattle, Cincy, Washington SS's don't look very intriguing.

Ah, which "Japanian" is on the DL? Dice-K, who I assume you are talking about, is starting tonight. O yeah, he's 9-1....not a pretty 9-1....but 9-1 nonetheless.

I'd be happy to get Teixeira as a Sox fan, but what are we supposed to do with him? Youks is an all-star at first. Move him to third, I suppose? I'd rather see the Sox chase a guy like Rich Harden.

Does this mean the Sox have given up on Lowrie as a SS? I thought he was one of their best prospects.
