It is no secret that Theo wants some insurance in case Lowell does not recover well from the hip surgery. Teixeira is a guy they could get who could have an immediate impact on the lineup and be a centerpiece of the offense for years to come. But what if the price gets too high? The Red Sox may choose to trade for Hank Blalock from the Texas Rangers. The deal could be part of a multi-player deal that includes a catcher too. Blalock can play third which would allow Youk to stay at first whereas Tex has no experience at the hot corner. The winter meetings start tomorrow so get ready for some wheeling and dealing. Unlike last year’s meetings, I think we are going to see a major transaction for the Sox coming out of Vegas.
