• Brian Anderson/Carlos Quentin: Anderson has played his way on to the major league roster with a great spring, but if you read Ozzie's quotes in the paper, he's so over him.  You knew Ozzie wasn't enamored with him when he said that Anderson always has a great spring and the Sox have been "waiting for three years for the kid to play like he is now."  Whether that is an indictment or not, you mike the call.  With Jerry Owens, Jermaine Dye and Nick Swisher mortal locks to make the roster, the last outfield spot is up for grabs between Anderson and Quentin.  Quentin has been impressive too, but is still recovering from shoulder surgery last fall.  He has hit the ball pretty well lately and the Sox didn't trade for him to play in Charlotte.  The best case between the above two is to start Quentin on the DL to allow his shoulder to get to 100% and see what Anderson can do with pitchers who wear numbers below 60.  My personal opinion is if Anderson hits his full stride, he's a much better player offensively and defensively than Owens is.
  
• Nick Masset/Ehren Wasserman: I think this will be the most agonizing decision Kenny and Ozzie will have to make.  Wasserman has been outstanding this spring, but Masset can give you long outings which is especially important on a team with two young starters (John Danks and Pink Gavin Floyd.)  Masset is also out of options and will get picked up by someone if the Sox waive him.  Williams loves Masset, traded for him last year and is not willing to fold the tent just yet.  I think Wasserman gets the short straw here.
• Juan Uribe/Alexi Ramirez/Pablo Ozuna: Ozuna makes the team because he plays multiple positions and may be the best clutch player they have right now.  Uribe leads the team in hitting this spring, but like Anderson, Ozzie has been there, done that with him.  Ramirez has nothing but upside and the Sox want him in the bigs ASAP without having to start at Charlotte.  What makes sense is for Ramirez to start at Charlotte (especially with Danny Richar on the DL with a bad back) and for the Sox to move Uribe as soon as they find a match that makes sense.  Of course, if they do that, you have two rookies and a journeyman utility player as your everyday second baseman. 
  
• Toby Hall/Bag of Baseballs: The Sox could give the backup catcher position to Paul Phillips, Donny Lucy or Cole Armstrong (although Armstrong and Lucy need a little more seasoning) and Phillips has had a great srping and some major league experience.  Hall is still recovering from a bad shoulder, can't hit and can barely throw.  The best case is to DL Hall and let Phillips get some big league time as the backup.  The chances of that happening are slim and none.  The Sox feel obligated to Hall, especially since he was injured in camp last year while playing first base.
• Mike McDougall: He has not been impressive at all this spring, but the Sox still love him.  What to do with him now that they have signed Scott Linebrink for the seventh inning and Octavio Dotel for the eighth is another matter.  McDougall will most likely be used in the late fifth, sixth and early seventh innings, especially if the Sox want to go righty, lefty, righty.  The best case would be to find a taker, unload him and give his role to Wasserman.  Unfortunately, this will not be the case.
• Joe Crede/Josh Fields: This is the easiest decision Ozzie and Kenny will make.  Fields will get sent out while Crede tries to build value among teams that may want to acquire him.  While Crede is probably not 100%, you cannot deny his resume, his clutch hitting ability and his world class defense, all things Fields continues to need to develop.
• Needs: Based on the numbers, the Sox have everything covered, the question is what kind of quality do you have?  Certainly, a fourth starter who has some miles on him would be nice as well as another lefty for the bullpen (in case Boone Logan falters or Matt Thornton continues to struggle with lefty hitters.)  Other than that, the Sox are pretty solid.  How solid?  We'll find out early as they open their season against Cleveland, Detroit and Minnesota.
