With the departure of Alex Gonzalez to Toronto, it's time to move on and explore what options are available to Boston to man the shortstop position in 2010 -- and possibly beyond. I've gone through some potential free-agent and trade options and then tied it all in a neat little bow for consideration.
Internal options include Jed Lowrie and Jose Iglesias.
The free agent market has a bevy of options, but they all have their drawbacks. From Marco Scutaro to Adam Everett to Miguel Tejada to Craig Counsell -- yes, Craig Counsell -- we have you covered here.
Want to think trade? Stephen Drew, Cristian Guzman and Hanley Ramirez are considered.
Yeah, Hanley Ramirez. The New York Daily News
has a note that the Marlins are talking to the Red Sox about a Hanley Ramirez trade.
