Red Sox making some calculated moves, but still not enough

The Red Sox introduced their two offseason acquisitions, John Lackey (SP) and Mike Cameron (OF). I think both are decent players and will contribute to the team in 2010 and beyond. Lackey has a proven big-time record, and is familiar with the competition in the AL East. Nonetheless, he is in his early 30s and five years is a lengthy commitment. Cameron, meanwhile, will mostly be a role player who has much outfield potential and asset. Mindful of the team's first round exit and (maybe) Yankees' success, Theo Epstein is moving boldly.

Even so, I still ask, where is the offense? The Red Sox's struggles last season came in scoring runs, especially against good pitching. If Bay in fact is going, as reported, the Red Sox will lose one of their primary run producers. They must supplant him with a proven run producer, with power, if they intend to contend. Will Adrian Gonzalez be available? Besides Bay, the rest of the free agent market, in terms of offense, looks thin. Regardless, Theo must improve the offense by February, even if it means pushing the bank.
