Regarding Carlos Pena, as I think that you've previously mentioned, he's
only signed
with the D-rays on a 1 year contract. If by chance, the Sox do not or
cannot
re-sign Mike Lowell, a pretty decent alternative might be to sign Carlos
Pena
for 1B and move Youk back to 3B.
Regarding Wily Mo Pena, I wouldn't cut him. At worst, I'd try to send him
thru
waivers, down to AAA, where he might have a chance to hone his skills. If
he
clears waivers, fine. If another team picks him, fine.
