I've heard 3 peoples names this morning and none of them were named Carl Crawford.
Scott Downs, Brian Fuentes, and Russell Martin.
Scott Downs is the bullpen guy that I covet the most, and even though he's a type A free agent and the Sox would have to give up a 1st round draft pick, I'm for it. Last year our bullpen was poop, I mean so were our starters, but we are stuck with them so whatever. A Bullpen trio of Downs, Daniel Bard and Papelbon is a good start and a lot better sounding then with Hideki Okajima.
Brian Fuentes on the other hand is a reliever, but I believe he sucks. He has never really impressed me and other then 1 good year in Colorado has blown. I feel if the Sox sign him, it'll be another guy that they sign, just to sign.
Russell Martin had a hell of a rookie and sophomore campaign but has been extremely injury prone. If the price is right I would sign him, because this year we will most likely have a catcher by committee. But the Sox have taken the potential guys recently and haven't had much luck (Jeremy Hermedia, Brad Penny).
