I hope they don't sign Vazquez as I would like to see Doubront's sophomore season.

No, he shouldn't be a deal breaker, but it seems like a marginal upgrade for Hanrahan.

You might be onto something with Cody Ross, but I'm not sure. There's been rumors of the two sides talking about extensions as far back as mid-year. Granted, that could still be Ross' side. But there's been consistent reports from both sides from journalists that seem to indicate mutual interest.

Oh, I fully expect the Yankees to spend. I just don't think they land with any of these guys, although I think the best bet of one of these guys being a Yankee ends up being BJ Upton.

See, I'm not sure other teams would give a multiyear deal to Ortiz. He did suffer an injury in late July that knocked him out for the whole year, so that affects his market. Plus, if the Sox offer him the qualifying deal -- which they should -- most teams that would have any interest in him would lose their first. I think Papi's back on a one-year deal with perhaps a make-nice option with a high vesting figure (say, 600 PA) which is otherwise a team option.

If Ruf is cheap enough, I don't see why he's not worth a look. I think my preference is to go with Sands and Salty, with Lavarnway and Salty also seeing time at C. It means you have to carry a third backup catcher in all likelihood, but I'm OK with that. The outfield can be the three starting OFs, Sands for left and a fifth OF for center and right. Then you have an infield backup. That would be your bench: Backup C, Backup CF/RF, Sands/Salty/Lavarnway depending on the day, Backup IF.
