but the Red Sox signed Carl Crawford, which is a good thing.  He'll be hitting third.  When you couple that with the acquisition of Gonzalez, this may be the strongest Red Sox lineup in the past few years.

1. Ellsbury, CF
2. Pedroia,  2B
3. Crawford, LF
4. Gonzalez, 1B
5. Youkilis, 3B
6. Ortiz, DH
7. Saltalamacchia, C
8. Drew, RF
9. Scutaro, SS

Now, Theo needs to work on the bullpen…
