If you could sign one free agent...

This being a Red Sox fansite, as soon as the final out of the season is made, our thoughts turn to re-tooling for next year. Fire up the hot stove, people.

We were a very good team this year. Probably the second best team in MLB (though I know the run differential tells a slightly different story). While we are aging in some key positions, we have both the money and the prospects to sustain our success.

Let's look at the free agents first of all, before we come up with creative trades for Tim Lincecum and Ryan Braun. Pick your priority free agent in the attached poll. If I've missed one out, chose Other and state your choice below.

Here's an apparently full list of FAs for reference, though I've spotted an error or two.

Poll
Who should be the Red Sox's priority free agent?
CC Sabathia (the Big Waist wouldn’t be a Big Waste)
85 votes
Mark Teixeira (Youk to third, Lowell to Pinewood Retirement Manor)
149 votes
Adam Dunn (we’d find a place to play him)
9 votes
Ben Sheets (we need an injury-prone #3)
8 votes
AJ Burnett (we need an injury-prone #4)
15 votes
Jason Varitek (hits like Kevin Cash, throws like Johnny Damon)
32 votes
K-Rod (I am stupider than yeast)
10 votes
Richie Sexson (I run an illegal betting ring, and want to tank the season)
22 votes
Other (state below)
23 votes

Come on... It wouldn't be the Red Sox without a little bit of drama, right?

The Manny Memorial Thread

Share with the Over the Monster community, if you will, your fondest memories of Manny in a Red Sox uniform.

He has been spectacular, and bizarre, and infuriating in equal measure, and he will be sorely missed.

I will start the ball rolling by mentioning the walkoff home run he hammered off K-Rod in Game 2 of the ALDS last year. It was a legendary blow, and I will treasure it for a very long time. Pimping? Damn right. Damn right...

Thanks Manny.
