Kenny Williams doesn’t have a ton of money to toss around this off season, but he’s one of those GM’s that can pull off some of the craziest moves no one sees coming. He’s extremely creative and I have no doubt that he’ll be able to work some of that magic. With all the press surrounding what to do with Bobby Jenks, the one position that could be in need is the DH spot. They traded Jim Thome last summer at the deadline and with the trade of Josh Fields to the Royals for Mark Teahan, they could be in the market for an aging slugger like Hideki Matsui- but if they were going to go that route, the one that makes the most sense to me is Vladdy.

Vladdy was hurt quite a bit over the last couple years, but when healthy has still proven to be a lethal weapon in the middle of the order. This postseason he hit .378 with an OBS of a strong .966 during the Angels run while having at least 1 hit in every game. He’s absolutely still a threat that teams will have to prepare for day in and day out and with not resigning Jermaine Dye, they’ll need a power bat to protect Paul Konerko as throwing youngster Gordon Beckham in that role might serve as too much pressure. Some people have said Vladdy can no longer hit a fastball. I’m sure if you ask Johnathon Papelbon that he’ll give you a different response.

Come on Kenny- I’m sure Sox fans would welcome this move.
