I go for in this order ... I 2-4 starting pitcher .. like the idea of Schmidt, don't want to see them overpay for Zito. I think we have a good young core of starters with Beckett, Lester, and Papelbon but we need some more veteran leadship and Schmidt would provide that.

Next we need a catcher. I know you don't want to keep 3 catchers on the roster so someone will have to learn to catch the knuckleball. Tek will go down again at some point in the season. Maybe find someone who can spell Youk at 1b and play Catcher.

Other than that I like the team. I believe Nixon is a FA and would love to have him back mainly because I love the guy but Wily Mo would be a fine replacement there. I might see if Nixon can handle first base and move Youk back to 3rd. Not sold on Lowell having any more decent years.

Crisp should be fine in Center. Love the glove at SS and always have been a fan of Loretta.
