Sox interested in David DeJesus? 07.13.10 at 4:08 pm ET
By Alex Speier

ANAHEIM, Calif. — According to FoxSports.com, the Red Sox spoke to the Royals roughly 10 days ago about the availability of outfielder David DeJesus, who is hitting .326 with a .395 OBP and .855 OPS for the fourth-place club. The report said that the clubs plan to stay in contact about the left-handed hitting outfielder.

A major league source said that the cost of acquiring the outfielder, who is on a $4.7 million deal this year with a $6 million option for 2011, is currently rich, and considered it unlikely that the Sox would pursue DeJesus unless Kansas City seeks less in return than is currently the case. That said, outfield production remains an obvious area for potential improvement on the Sox, given that the team’s injury-depleted unit has a collective .758 OPS that ranks 11th in the American League, a .258 average that is 12th and a .326 OBP that is 13th.

While both Jeremy Hermida and Jacoby Ellsbury are slated to return from their rib injuries in the second half, there is some question as to what kind of production the Sox might get from those two players after substantial time on the disabled list, or from Mike Cameron, who has been fighting to stay on the field while playing with an abdominal strain.

    Why not Werth. I understand that they want a mid-rotation pitcher that is ready right now, but there’s gotta be a way to work a three-team deal. DeJesus is a good player and we need another lefty, but still, Werth is a power piece that we need in this line up to take some pressure off of the middle line up. Fenway is built for this guy.

    I think this is a deal that must get done.

    First thing about Werth. The guy is going to be a free agent after 2010 (this year) and I think the redsox are serious about going after this guy in free agency. If you look at Theo’s history he doesn’t like to pay “twice” for 1 guy. I like this approach…doesn’t make sense to give up PROSPECTS for a half season and then the MONEY next year.

    Second I think Jocoby should be traded. Take a Deep Breath! Now the reason the Sox and Ellsbury are in the position they are in is 100% THE REDSOX FAULT. But the reality is that we are now here and there is no option IMO besides trading him once he plays and the value is back up. (hes under team control for 3 arbitration years after this season)

    DeJesus has this year and next year under team control. The sox can resign him after 2011 for 2012 and beyond or they can let RYAN KALISH start 2012 in centerfield (http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=LF&sid=t533&t=p_pbp&pid=501888)

    Jennifer Lopez is willing to switch back to her native New York so she can raise her family in a “normal” environment far away from all of the glitz of Hollywood. The actress grew ” up ” in the Big Apple, though now lives in Los Angeles to concentrate on their very own showbiz careers.

    An interesting dialogue is price comment. I believe that it is best to write extra on this subject, it might not be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
