Fire up the hot stove, people.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Here's an apparently <a href="http://melnickandgrecofantasysports.com/2008-2009-Major-League-Baseball-Free-Agents-List.html" target="_blank">full list of FAs</a> for reference, though I've spotted an error or two.</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">Who should be the Red Sox's priority free agent?</h5> <div id="poll_container_30594_712664481" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">24%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>CC Sabathia (the Big Waist wouldn’t be a Big Waste) </h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">85</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">42%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Mark Teixeira (Youk to third, Lowell to Pinewood Retirement Manor)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">149</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">2%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Adam Dunn (we’d find a place to play him)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">9</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">2%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Ben Sheets (we need an injury-prone #3)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">8</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">4%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>AJ Burnett (we need an injury-prone #4)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">15</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">9%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Jason Varitek (hits like Kevin Cash, throws like Johnny Damon)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">32</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">2%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>K-Rod (I am stupider than yeast)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">10</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">6%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Richie Sexson (I run an illegal betting ring, and want to tank the season)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">22</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">6%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Other (state below)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">23</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>353</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_30594_712664481').animateResults({renderImmediately:true}); }); </script> </fieldset> http://www.overthemonster.com/2008/10/15/635449/come-on-it-wouldn-t-be-the britsoxfan Wed, 15 Oct 2008 07:05:23 -0000 <img alt="Papelbluto" src="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/18098/papelbluto.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p>Come on...

It was a legendary blow, and I will treasure it for a very long time. Pimping? Damn right. <i>Damn </i>right...</p> <p>Thanks Manny.</p> <p><a href="http://assets.sbnation.com:/imported_assets/15515/bdd_mr_game2hr_1-507_gett.jpg"><img class="photo" src="http://assets.sbnation.com:/imported_assets/15515/bdd_mr_game2hr_1-507_gett_medium.jpg" alt="Bdd_mr_game2hr_1-507_gett_medium" /></a></p> <p>via <a href="http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s137/ppitf/BDD_MR_game2hr_1-507_gett.jpg">i151.photobucket.com</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://www.overthemonster.com/2008/6/19/554798/the-is-no-defence-against britsoxfan Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:08:57 -0000 <img alt="Papelkid" src="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/7162/papelkid.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p>The is no defence against The&nbsp;Crane</p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2008/6/18/554324/1213814294 britsoxfan Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:38:14 -0000 <img alt="Dustinmeetsgroundhog" src="http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/7105/dustinmeetsgroundhog.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p></p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2008/6/12/550640/1213275206 britsoxfan Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:53:25 -0000 <img alt="Bartolo4" src="http://cdn2.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/6643/bartolo4.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p></p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2008/6/11/549958/words-fail-me britsoxfan Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:57:18 -0000 <img alt="Ginococo" src="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/6580/ginococo.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p>Words fail&nbsp;me.</p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2008/6/9/548536/covelli-anderson britsoxfan Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:11:49 -0000 <img alt="Cocotrix2" src="http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/6382/cocotrix2.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p>Covelli&nbsp;Anderson</p></div>
