In Ben We Must Trust

Jon Lester. Max Scherzer. James Shields. Pablo Sandoval. Chase Headley. Chris Sale. Johnny Cueto. Yasmany Tomas. Hanley Ramirez. Jordan Zimmermann. Brandon McCarthy. Justin Masterson. Mat Latos. Zack Wheeler. Lonnie Chisenhall. Miguel Montero. Carlos Gonzalez. And on & on goes the list of free agents & possible trade names. You can assume that the Red Sox have a pecking order of new players to fill the holes of their 2015 roster. You can also assume that they are a potential suitor for any & all of these players. And you can assume that Ben Cherington & his staff have done their due diligence on each & every one. I don't get the Sox interest in Sandoval (5 years, $95 million) over a cheaper Headley, but I'm going to trust in Ben. Once Jon Lester & Pablo Sandoval find homes for 2015 the remaining free agents will topple like dominos.
