Red Sox to call up Blake Swihart after Ryan Hanigan is said to require surgery. Gentleman, it is Swihart time!!!

So with Papi retiring after 2016, what do we do as far as DH is concerned?

Move Hanley to DH and let Shaw play 1st (if he's still around)? Bring in someone in free agency to play 1st? Bring in a DH?

I think it's either Hanley at 1st and Pablo at DH, Devers or Moncada at 3rd. Or we bring in a 1st baseman and Hanley goes to DH.

Here is your way too early list of FA 1st baseman after 2016:
Pedro Alvarez (30)
Michael Cuddyer (38)
Ike Davis (30)
Edwin Encarnacion (34)
Ryan Howard (37) — $23MM club option with a $10MM buyout
Adam LaRoche (37)
Adam Lind (33)
James Loney (33)
Mitch Moreland (31)
Logan Morrison (29)
Mike Morse (35)
Brandon Moss (33)
Carlos Santana (31) — $12MM club option with a $1.2MM buyout
Justin Smoak (30)
Mark Teixeira (37)
Mark Trumbo (31)

That free agent list wasn't as impressive as I was hoping. Some good names, but they're getting up there in age.

I didn't even think about Pablo DHing.

Yea the only guys listed I would consider are Trumbo and EE. Because I think Santana's option gets picked up unless he has a horrendous season.
