Next year they need to get an everyday first baseman that doesn't need a platoon or defensive replacement.

I'd like to see them bring back Mueller, get a first baseman (Olderdude, Petagine, or let Ortiz play the field and get another slugging OFer, whatever), and have Youkilis play 3rd and 1st. They should be able to find a low cost player regardless. I like having a starter ready to go if somebody gets hurt. Maybe a 1B/RFer like Millar (except better) considering the odds that Trot will get hurt again.

Ortiz is Giambi in the field with a better arm. Billy can stay but they need another bopper in that line up. Trot gets hurt too often and they still don't trust him vs. LHP and Tek wears down from catching.

Thome would be nice as a #5 guy in that line up.

I want them to bring Mueller back but I also want to see Youkilis become an everyday player next year. Put him at first.
