Casey Kotchman

Brian MacPherson spells out the situation with the Red Sox and Casey Kotchman (something I've also been thinking about):

But Casey Kotchman has just 49 plate appearances in the five weeks since the Red Sox acquired him from the Atlanta Braves. He's a perfect defensive infielder late in the season for a playoff-bound team, particularly because he's not going to gripe about his role. But to keep him on the roster as a part-time player next season will be a waste of resources.

Read the whole thing to see what options Brian thinks exist.
