Hallelujah! All this Kemp, Stanton, Choo, Batista talk is utter nonsense.
The Sox have made it clear they like "deep depth at a good price", and a Gomes/Nava platoon in LF plays exactly into that.
The Sox have also made it clear they value "team chemistry", once again Gomes/Nava cover that.
The Sox have made it clear they want "young, controllable players", Nava, Doubront and Workman fill the bill.
Boston is a unique baseball experience for players, you just don't know how they will react to playing on the stage here. Taking a player and plugging in BABIP reversion, field adjusted, league adjusted, STEAMER projection stats is only part of the equation. Personally I'll take the guys that made it happen here last year and roll the dice with them. Santa Ben has filled our stockings with Nap, some RH relief help and AJ. Extend Lester + a few more small nuances and then load the trucks for spring training.
