    I think that he will not be getting a chance to be our CF anytime soon.

    Cherrington just said Castillo is the starting CF. JBJ isn't ready to be on the 2015 team anyway.

    Weren't Castillo's Cuba numbers pretty unimpressive? Seems like a pointless signing to me.

    "Castillo, 27, hit .319 with 75 doubles, 11 triples, 51 home runs, 99 walks, 256 runs scored, and 76 stolen bases in 360 games over five seasons in Cuba’€™s major league" EEI

    Hopefully that's around .270/.330/.400 in MLB

    Bardley will be in Pawtucket to start 2015 ( although he will be in ST ) or he will be dealt this winter or next season.

    He still has value.

    JBJ will slowly crawl into a hole and die after the Red Sox trade him and Middlebrooks.

    Yes, he still has value, but it has depreciated probably by 75%.

    If JBJ could ever find a swing that will work for him he would be a CF that a lot of teams would have interest in.

    I think JBJ will be in Triple A, WMB will be gone.

    WMB is in the same boat as JBJ. He has not shown he can hit consistently in the majors. Both could be moved to help rebuild the staff, but both of their values aren't what they use to be.

    Agreed...I hope for him he can make it work. I saw him play back in Single A and he's always been a pretty exciting player to watch. Just hope he finds his swing.

    I like the guy as well. Maybe the Sox don't move him this off season and he starts the year in AAA. He finds his swing and by 2016 he is back in CF and Castillo is in RF. At this point you can only hope.

    How much could you possibly expect in return for 2 guys who can't hit ML pitching? Middlebrooks has very little value at this point.

    If JBJ every finds his stroke I don't think it will be in a Red Sox uniform.

    Believe it or not there are teams that still have interest in WMB's power potential.
