This crystallizes the Sox roster in 2012 for a bunch of reasons. Expect some type of mid-level trade and to sign a FA reliever, but that's basically it.

I thought there was still an effort to get a right handed hitting outfielder, mostly to play right field, to compete with Kalish and Reddick?  Cuddyer got a three 3yr/25m offer so he is out of the mix.  I am hoping that Mike Aviles is not supposed to be the option for this job. 

  

I agree that Aviles can't be in the rt field mix, so I hope the Sox aren't done there.  Aviles in rt would be too much like what Bobby V did to his last MLB GM. :-)

Despite the organization leaks to the contrary, I prefer to believe the Sox are determined to get a real rt-handed hitting rt fielder with a real rt fileder's throwing arm (as good an arm as Kalish/Reddick).  He'd have to be quality enough to make it worthwhile to alternate him with Kalish or Reddick.  Maybe this won't happen for a few months, since the free agents who might have fit have been gobbled up.
