Adding Pop
As the trade deadline approaches you always hear alot of names thrown out there. A guy i would love to see in a sox uniform is Adrian Gonzalez. The 27 years old gonzalez is just hitting his prime. He got out to a fast start this season and has already totaled 24 home runs. All with no protection in the line up as Scott Hairston had gone on the DL and then got traded to Oakland. Gonzalez is also an excellent first baseman as well as a good person. Adding him to the Boston line up would be devistating. I would give up Clay Buchholz and Lars Anderson for him in a second. The Sox have Beckett and Lester who are two top starters. As good as Clay has been this season in Pawtucket, it is AAA not major league hitters. Lowell is getting old and hurt often. As much as i like him it's time to start planning for a perminent future at thirdbase. Adding a young slugger with a great glove is a good start. Youkilis plays third and Gonzalez at first would be amazing. Maybe better than adding Teixeira. The Padres will want Bowden from the Sox also i'm guessing. Which is alot, but when your getting one of the top hitters and fielders at the position it's a little easier.
