After a long courtship, the Red Sox have signed free agent third baseman Adrian Beltre to a one year deal with a player option for a second year. Beltre spent last season in Seattle but had a down year statistically. Adrian improves the defense on a team that was near the bottom defensively last season. With the acquisition, Kevin Youkilis can remain at first where he has become accustomed. It’s early still but the Sox lineup is shaping up something like this: Ellsbury, Pedroia, Martinez, Youkilis, Ortiz, Drew followed by Cameron, Scutaro and Beltre in some order. That sounds pretty nice to me. Let me know when it is March!
