毫無意外的，紅襪撿起Lester 2014年 $13MM的option。
--
過去六年Lester一共投了194場比賽，全聯盟只有十人比他多。(Verlander 202場)


2. 明天會進行慶祝遊行，小鴨船早上十點會從芬威出發。

6. http://0rz.tw/UGzHH 合約狀態


Free agents: OF Ellsbury, SS Drew, 1B Napoli, C Saltalamacchia, INF John
McDonald, RHP Joel Hanrahan.

Club option: LHP Jon Lester, $13 million ($250,000 buyout) [已撿]; LHP Matt
Thornton, $6 million ($1 million buyout)


Arbitration-eligible
RHP Andrew Bailey ; LHP Franklin Morales ; LHP Andrew Miller ; RHP Junichi
Tazawa ; 1B/OF Mike Carp.

Non-tender possibilities: Bailey.


Areas of need

Catcher: Will Saltalamacchia re-sign? If not, the Red Sox will likely need to
find at least a short-term solution behind the plate before one of their
prospects emerges. David Ross is back for one more year, and he can catch
more than the average backup. One intriguing name on the market is Brian
McCann, who had a great relationship with Ross in Atlanta. If the Sox wanted
to go a bit older, A.J. Pierzynski is also out there. The ideal option would
be to retain Saltalamacchia, who has good rapport with Ross and the pitching
staff and has a power bat.

捕手 會不會跟Salty續約？沒有的話就必須尋求短期工來頂住新秀養出來之前的時間。
David Ross還有一年，而且可以蹲的場數絕對超過一般的替補捕手。市場上的大貨
之一是Brian McCann─他跟Ross的關係很棒；可以接受稍微老一點的球員的話，
A.J. Pierzynski也是選項。

理想狀態是留住跟Ross與投手們關係良好、有砲瓦的Saltalamacchia。

First base: Much like with Saltalamacchia, Boston's need at this position
depends on whether Napoli comes back. Though he's streaky at the plate,
Napoli was a strong fit with the Red Sox, and he has said numerous times he'd
like to come back. If Napoli doesn't resurface, the club does have some
in-house possibilities who could take on more responsibility at first,
including Carp and Daniel Nava.

一壘 跟Salty一樣，需不需要一壘手取決於Napoli的去留。雖然打擊狀況時好時壞，但他
很合紅襪的陣容，而且Napoli也幾度說過想留下來。

沒留Napoli的話，可以使用自家的人選Nava或Carp來補。

Shortstop: Drew was better defensively than most people expected. In the
postseason, his glove was downright spectacular. But his bat disappeared for
long stretches. Obviously if Drew departs as a free agent, the Red Sox have a
future star ready for the position in Bogaerts. However, Bogaerts could also
take over at third base if Will Middlebrooks is traded. This is clearly a
position where the Red Sox have options.

游擊 Drew的防守比大家預期的還棒，在季後賽更是有精采演出。但是他的棒子沉寂了好
一段時間。如果Drew離開紅襪的話，紅襪將會有大物XB頂上，不過紅襪也可以交易
中川並讓XB守三壘。

這是個有操作空間的位置。

Center field: Though there have been some injuries along the way, Ellsbury
has been the mainstay for the Red Sox at this position since 2008. His bat,
legs and defense would all be missed if he signs elsewhere. Bradley Jr. seems
like the heir apparent, but the Red Sox would have to be sure he's ready to
be a productive hitter at the Major League level.

中外 雖然Ellsbury的傷病史玲瑯滿目，但他絕對是紅襪在2008年以來的支柱球員之一。
打、跑、守在他離開後都會有所衝擊。JBJ是繼位者的預定人選，不過紅襪得先確定
JBJ真的能站穩大聯盟。

12. Lackey那時到底說了什麼？

Farrell："This is my guy. This is my guy,"

「他說的次數不止這樣。」

不過Farrell是被Ross勸退的─Ross告訴Farrell 'We got this guy,'，Farrell就
說了'OK, I'll get out of here.'乖乖退場。
