The Red Sox recently signed Sean Casey to be the teams back up first baseman. The question is whether the Red Sox could have done better with in-house options? The short of the matter is probably. The long of the matter starts here.

I thought it would have been a good move for the Mets to acquire Wily Mo Pena from the Nationals when he was still under contact, so to get him on a minor league deal is a no lose situation in my opinion. Pena is a 27 y/o right handed power bat who can play left field and 1B. He is...
