The players you can scout best are your own farm system, and our bench is where the most work really needs to be done. Release Wily Mo Pena outright and promote Ellsbury. Ride out Hinske or trade him for a low-level prospect, and promote the hot hand in Pawtucket. Finally, and no one talks about this, pay any price to get Saltalamaccia -- Lester, Murphy, and maybe Bard. Live with the passed balls. Release Mirabelli outright, and maybe hire him as a special assistant (coach). No one will hire him to hit a baseball ever again.

I agree with Brian W. on his comment,except for trading Lester.He will pitch better in the Major,the rest can go.If we can see this why cant the front office ?? Pitcing rotation in Setember should Becket,Dice K,Schilling,Gabbard and Lester send Wakefield and Tavares to bullpen.
