They acquired Adam LaRoche for two mid-level prospects. We'll see how this turns out. Wells it looks like the Sox think they have the bat they are going to need to win down the stretch.

The questions are also going to be rising with Lowrie back and Lugo DFA.I still say we don't need to trade for a hitter. We need to keep our starters healthy and continue to win the games we should and pull some other ones out. He did return to the line-up Greg, but he also sat out this weekend against Toronto.

I see Lowell coming back and playing well and the Sox roster remaining the same. I agree. I see Lowell coming back and playing well and the Sox roster remaining the same.

Yahoo! Sports reported from rotowire,"The Red Sox may delay his activation by a day because they need a roster spot for Clay Buchholz, who is being called up from Triple-A Pawtucket to start Friday's game. We figure Aaron Bates will be sent down Friday to make room for Buchholz, who will then be sent down Saturday to make room for Lowell."My worry is that the Red Sox may take that ever so often dive after the all-star break. I agree that we don't need to add a power hitter to our line-up, but we do need to stay consistent and continue to win games after the break.

If Lowell is healthy than they do not need another bat. It would be good to get a second tier bat for depth, I do not believe they need a big bat. The Sox are three games up, that is not a reason to make a move or to not to but they should get better in the second half and they had a pretty good first half. It depends on Mike Lowell health.
