3b is obviously the biggest potential hole. i love mikey lowell, but 2 years ago his contract was an albatross and now we're looking at something like 4/52-60 to keep him. is there any chance that turns out as a good deal? you've got the best player in baseball available, and unless they want to trade the farm for miggy cabrera when lowell falls off the face of the planet, you've gotta make the move now, imo.
