This was the 1st season Chavez has hit the 100 game plateau since 2006 so I'd think that's being a bit optimistic

What would be optimal is a .280+ hitter with some pop, a patient hitter who hits to all fields and can run a little and field at least league average. |

Mark Reynolds is an absolutely awful defensive 3rd baseman; so bad that he was moved to 1B; and sucked there also.

That would fit nicely in our lineup.

Not at all. Four hundred strikeouts between them would not be out of the question, since Dunn will go well over 200 all by himself. With Flowers being an everyday player, 350 strikeouts between them would be fairly conservative, and 400 a not unreasonable number.
You'll note that nowhere did I make an idiotic statement like "I would strike out less than Flowers and Dunn."

I agree, problem is expecting Chavez to play 1/2 the season is a real roll of the dice.
If the Sox could find a guy whose maybe not quite 100% ready to play 3B everyday at the MLB level, then Chavez is a real nice addition. You bring in Chavez to be your 3B most of the time, find a utility IF who can play a little 3B to spell him 1-2 times per week, and then you have your new guy in Charlotte waiting if (when) he needs to spend some time on the DL. |

Well; sure. Sox could use about three of those kind of hitters -- preferably all with club friendly contracts!

When he was a regular at Charlotte, in 196 games over 3 seasons he struck out 237 times. I guess he will be a 1+ SO per game guy.

For 3rd Base we need in one player the hands of Crede, the power of Melton, and the clutch of Ventura (the player). Do these players exist in MLB or high minors? Trade Floyd and a package to get them, shed AJ, Youk, dead meat old wood. |

Assuming Flowers is expected to be a major contributor next year, who is going to be backing him up? Gimenez? Or do we go out and get a guy like Kelly Shoppach to split time behind the plate?

Reynolds actually played quite well at 1st base after he made the move over.
